Bud Industries has recently expanded its line of electronic enclosures with the introduction of the PNB Series IP67 Plastic Boxes with Knockouts. These enclosures are designed to provide reliable protection for electronic components in various industrial environments, offering a blend of durability, affordability, and user-friendly features.
Harsh environmental conditions are just part of the picture when specifying industrial enclosures for outdoor applications. Wind, moisture, and cold are fairly common weather elements designers need to account for, but combatting the potential for corrosion — from natural weather conditions or chemical agents used in production — is also key in designing a durable, reliable automation infrastructure that is built to last. Choosing an enclosure designed for corrosive environments compared to one that is not can help manufacturers increase productivity and revenue, and it can also help reduce maintenance intervals and repair costs.
AutomationDirect has added more Murrplastik frames and grommets to their current offering of cable entry systems. Cable entry frames used in conjunction with the required grommets provide easy cable installation through an enclosure and strain relief while maintaining environmental ratings. This expansion adds more frame sizes to the existing KDL/D and KDL/D-Mono series, a blank large BTG/XL grommet to the KDT/X series, and the new KDL/D-R and KDP/Z series, which provides more solid- and split-frame options.
The NWM Series Swing-Out Outdoor Rack Cabinets by Hammond are designed for mounting 19-inch rack and panel-mounted devices, offering both front and rear access through a three-part design: door, middle section, and back pan. These cabinets provide protection against water, dirt, and other contaminants, making them suitable for environments where space is limited and wall mounting is necessary. In addition, unlike other manufacturers, the NWM has been rated by UL to UL508A Type 4.
METCASE’s premium TECHNOMET-CONTROL enclosures can now be specified with a mounting bracket (accessory) for poles and masts ⌀1.97” mm or larger. Applications include HMI, panel PCs, industrial control, factory processing, security systems, test and measurement, point-of-sale terminals, IIoT and detection equipment. The new pole mounting bracket fits the standard VESA mounting holes on the rear panel of all sizes of TECHNOMET-CONTROL.
Introducing the PanelSeT SFN panel enclosures, new modular cabinets made of decarbonized steel, enabling to form large electrical panels, for industrial automation and control, electrical power distribution, and electronic applications. The PanelSeT SFN floor-standing decarbonized-steel modular enclosures are crafted for a reduced carbon footprint, increased robustness, unparalleled flexibility and improved operational efficiency.
Eaton’s B-Line series Type 4 panel enclosures are used to house electrical controls and instruments in indoor or outdoor applications to help protect against windblown dust and rain, splashing water and hose directed water. Eaton has also expanded its B-Line series enclosure line to include NEMA Type 4 freestanding panel enclosures.
Leviton Network Solutions has recently announced the introduction of its new Half RU 24-Port Flat Universal Patch Panel. Engineered to meet emerging network requirements to maximize patching space, provide efficient network scaling options over time, and allow for a mix of copper and fiber connectivity in a high density, half RU form factor.
Introducing the ST SS Series Type 4X stainless steel wallmount enclosure from Hammond Manufacturing, designed to enclose electrical and/or electronic equipment and protect against harsh, industrial environments for wallmount applications, with a sloped top which prevents water from resting on top as well as providing potential for controls mounting.
These new sanitary enclosures are designed to withstand high pressure and high temperature washdown procedures with direct and indirect food contact applications within the Food & Beverage industry. The enclosure is designed with internal swing-out hinges to reduce bacteria catch points and helps to maximize back panel space. Includes dual gasket design that ensures it performs in extreme applications.
Stahlin’s patented SolarShield HMI Covers provide the ultimate Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen protection in the harshest environments. These are the industry’s most innovative and durable non-metallic HMI Covers for use with all enclosure material types. They are ideal for protecting HMI Screens from UV and harsh environmental conditions and are now available in an expanded range of sizes – 10″ x 8″, 16″ x 11″, and 20″ x 14″- offering broad application flexibility.
ROLEC’s technoBOX plastic enclosures can now be specified with accessories including front plates, hinges, case feet, mounting plates, supporting rails, cable glands, and external mounting brackets (that can be rotated by 90°). Smart, robust technoBOX (IP 66) is ROLEC’s most cost-effective plastic enclosure. It is ideal for a wide range of industrial electronics applications, offering dependable protection at an attractive price point. The housings can be mounted on walls, bulkheads, machines and desks.
The folks at Stahlin are excited to introduce their Polycarbonate Replacement Covers, designed exclusively for PolyStar and PolySlim enclosures. That’s because Stahlin understands the importance of having reliable, easy-to-install solutions for your enclosure needs. Whether you need a replacement or spare, these covers offer superior protection, durability, and unmatched convenience.
The NEMA 4X electrical enclosure is a specific type of enclosure that meets the following standards: suitability for indoor and outdoor use, including offshore environments, protection from hose-directed and splashing water, protection from dust and rain, and resistance to corrosion. The NEMA 4X enclosure can serve indoor or outdoor in telecommunications, utilities, manufacturing, oilfield work and many other industries. It is especially common in environments with food products.
nVent’s Extreme Environments Enclosure includes a padlocking handle, and a lift off, lockable door. The enclosure is available standard in 304SS and White Painted 304SS with zinc plated internal components and EPDM replacement gasket. 316LSS models have stainless steel internal components and silicone replacement gasket. The gasket is removable, replaceable, and available for sale as a UL Listed field install kit. Gaskets are interchangeable among the Extreme Environments Enclosures of the same size.
The world is seeing increasing interest in shallow-depth and offset/asymmetrical cases for 19″ rack electronics. They’re becoming more popular for a wide range of applications – fitting neatly into spaces where deeper or conventional symmetrical enclosures would be impractical or impossible to use. These cases are ideal for wall-mounted racks, where space constraints and weight considerations call for a compact and lightweight solution. These features make them perfect for applications in healthcare, retail or edge computing where space can be limited.
