Functionality + Technical specifications Technical specifica�ons Skelex consists of two frames, a detachable washable harness and two arm cups. The two frame halves contain carbon fibre springs that provide the lifting power. The shoulder hinges make the movement of the arms feel weightless.

Page 28: Cleaning And Lubricating
Skelex 360 uses dry run bearings that do not need lubrication. Troubleshoot If the Skelex 360 exoskeleton is not fitting right or if it feels uncomfortable during use, find the issue written below and follow the steps to find a solution. - Page 29 The springs are to high above the shoulders. Description of trouble: With some users or use cases it is possible that the springs of the Skelex 360 exoskeleton are too high. This results in lower functionality, restricted range of movement and possibility of hurting the head of the user.
- Page 30 With some users or use cases the frame halves feel like they are inefficient constraint. This is felt by a loose fit of the Skelex 360 exoskeleton frames that do not move together with the user and feel like they have a will of their own.
- Page 31 For these users it may help that they wear the Skelex 360 exoskeleton belt on a narrower width. Remove the belt and tighten the belt at the back. Adjust about 4 cm and close the belt again with some comfortable tension.

This can feel more tiering than lifting the arms without exoskeleton and occurs more in dynamic tasks at shoulder level or higher. For these users Skelex advises to decrease the supporting force so they do not have to push down so much. It is also possible to change the force of one arm. - Page 33 200-0152 Passive Hinge Cover Right 200-0164 Arm Sock SX360 Medium Left 200-0165 Arm Sock SX360 Medium Right 200-0168 Belt Fabric SX360 200-0169 Fabric Backpack SX360 100-0042,200-0164,200- Harness SX360 + Arm Socks + Harness Connectors 0165,100-0036,100-0047 User manual - Skelex 360...
