BioFit Eton ET-Series Static Control Chair

BioFit Eton ET-Series Static Control Chair – ESD-Safe Ergonomic Seating

The Eton ET-Series Ergonomic Static Control Chair is expertly designed for comfort during long workdays and built for lasting performance. This chair incorporates advanced static control features to ensure continuity and prevent electrical disruptions, a crucial aspect for environments sensitive to static, making it ideal for technical settings where static discharge can pose a risk to sensitive equipment.

Every part of the chair is grounded to the base, with additional components such as a drag chain and conductive glides or casters to mitigate the insulating effects of dirt. A spring-loaded contact ball-bearing assembly within the pneumatic seat-height adjustment mechanism ensures continuous grounding from the backrest and seat to the base, a BioFit-unique feature that provides an extra grounding path to counteract potential dirt buildup.

The backrest measures 14-1/2 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches high and features lumbar support and a protective plastic panel. The seat is ergonomically designed at 18.5 inches wide by 17 inches deep by 3 inches thick, with four-way contouring and an internal seat board bumper guard. Controls include Task Control Soft Touch for pneumatic seat-height adjustment, a fixed rearward seat tilt of 3-1/2 degrees, and adjustable backrest tilt and height. Casters and glides include dual-wheel, non-marring polyurethane casters that resist rolling when unoccupied, or optional 2-inch-high polyamide glides. Metal parts are chrome-plated, and the chair supports up to 350 pounds.

To find your ideal seat height, subtract 12 inches from your work surface height. Use that number as the mid-point of the seat height adjustment range you choose. This formula fits most workers, and BioFit's range of adjustment options accommodates the rest.

Selection Guide:

♦ S-Base, 23" diameter tubular steel base with a 21" diameter affixed footring: available in Low (18" to 22"), Medium (21" to 28"), or High (25" to 32") seat height
♦ A-Base, 25.6" diameter cast aluminum base: available in Low (17" to 22"), Medium (19" to 26"), or High (22" to 32") seat height
♦ W-Base, 28.7" diameter wide aluminum base: available in Low (17" to 22"), Medium (19" to 26"), or High (22" to 32") seat height

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Work surface height: subtract 12 inches from your work surface height to find your ideal mid-point seat height, then choose the Low, Medium, or High range that includes it.
♦ Base style, the S-Base with footring suits users who like a place to rest their feet, while the A-Base and W-Base offer wider stability without a footring.
♦ Grounding path: both conductive glides and casters provide a reliable grounding path, so the choice comes down to mobility preference.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Electronics Assembly and Testing: The grounded, conductive construction protects sensitive components during handling and testing.
♦ Semiconductor Manufacturing, the drag chain, and conductive base support ESD program requirements.
♦ Cleanrooms and Controlled Environments: the chrome-plated construction supports hygiene requirements.
♦ Multi-Shift ESD Facilities, the range of seat height adjustments accommodates different workers across shifts.
