Case system intended for fast-locking to DIN rails
Use of RAILTEC allows OEM users to design and enclose their electronic or electrical assemblies and fast-lock them on to DIN-rail
Four sizes of DIN-rail cases from OKW
OKW Enclosures of Fareham has developed a special case system called Railtec specifically intended for the enclosure of electronic assemblies that are to be fast-locked on to DIN-rails.
Unlike other enclosures on the market, the new Alucase models have been designed with hinge assemblies that fully integrate into the design of the enclosure.
Whereas other enclosures have hinges simply bolted onto the sidewalls, the Alucase hinges are discreet extensions of the main profile of the case.
As a result a very modern and professional look is achieved.
The Alucase series is available in 14 individual sizes from 90 x 120 x 60 to 170 x 280 x 90mm and is powder painted grey RAL 7040.
All sizes can be specified with hinged lids.
Access to the hinges and lid fixing screws is via two clip-on trims.
A key lock can also be employed for extra security.
These robust IP67 aluminium enclosures have been designed for harsh environments, and have captured rust-free stainless-steel fixing screws.
All models include an earth point and threaded screw pillars in the lid and base for mounting PCBs, chassis, displays, DIN rails etc.
The modern design also features a recessed area in the lid for mounting a membrane keypad.
Prices start from GBP 17.
Rolec offers a full customising service on these enclosures with CNC milling, drilling, silk-screen printing, assembly of cable glands and terminals and much more, providing a fully finished housing ready for fitting the components.
