Electronics enclosure provides dust-tight seal

A Schroff product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Feb 28, 2011

Schroff now offers a range of NEMA Type 9 enclosures, which are designed for housing electronic or electrical equipment in locations that are hazardous due to the presence of combustible dusts.

Manufactured by Hoffman, one of Schroff's sister companies within the Pentair Technical Products group, these robust enclosures are constructed from 5mm, 6mm and 10mm steel plate, with an ANSI grey polyester powder-coat finish.

Fibre gaskets, attached to the covers using mechanical retainers, ensure that the enclosures provide a dust-tight seal and prevent the ingress of combustible particulates.

Available in a choice of 14 different sizes with internal dimensions ranging from 203 x 152 x 102mm to 1,219 x 914 x 305mm, the NEMA Type 9 enclosures incorporate mounting brackets and either weldnuts or collar studs to support the optional internal panels.

The larger models are equipped with heavy-duty cover hinges.

In addition to the panels and panel support kits, other accessories include terminal block kits and industrial corrosion inhibitors.
