High level of surface coating adhesion prevents erosion of coating during cleaning.
l
Lubricants are contained within multiple seals.
l
Ball joints, springs, and spring retainers are designed for minimal particulate gen-
l
eration.
All moving parts are designed so that small parts are encased within larger assemblies,
l
and are unable to contaminate the work environment.
