160 mm robust box

25 October 2000 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The Robust-Box series from OKW is now widely used in many fields of electrical engineering and electronics because of its dual system. Top and base part are largely identical in their design. In this way, the user can decide for himself if he wants to apply the flat or the high case part as bottom. A flat base part, for example, allows easy repair and service. A high base part is suitable for the application of bigger cable profiles with the corresponding screw fittings. The secure connection of top and base part is performed by special screws with preshaped threads. Due to a continuous groove and tongue connection with sealing the high protection Class IP 65 can be achieved.

Customers' demand resulted in a range of larger dimensions. The new sizes of cases are 200 x 300 mm and 240 x 360 mm with the heights 80, 120 and 160 mm. The assembly of these dimensions is performed with six screws, also to IP 65 protection. The interior of the large cases offers many fixing possibilities for mounting plates and up to two DIN-rails. The height of 160 mm thus allows the accommodation of voluminous DIN-rail cases or devices.

The existing 160 x 240 mm type is now also available in a height of 120 mm.

A special accessory of the Robust-Box are the coloured cover strips. They can be used for coding, eg cases for installation can be coded with blue cover strip for ventilation and with a red one for heating. The user can choose from the colours light grey, silver grey, red, yellow, green and blue.
