Enclosure Shelves
Enclosure shelves serve as durable straight-forward storage solutions for electrical and industrial enclosures of all types. Materials like steel and aluminum make up the components of most shelves. Their strength allows them to support heavy-duty storage loads—anything from an array of small parts to a shelf full of medium-sized servers. Putting a shelf inside an enclosure not only enhances the system's access convenience as long as the shelf design and component arrangement allow for proper airflow—but also enhances the system's operational effectiveness by making the components easier to access.
Shelves in an enclosure can be used for various applications. They come in different sizes and are configured to fit enclosures of all shapes and dimensions. Some are fixed, some are adjustable, and some are even sliding in and out. All of these possibilities help installation, but more important, they help access. If you were to use the enclosure for a server or some other kind of sensitive electronics, for example, you'd want shelves with a perforated surface. Perforation promotes good airflow, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent temperature.
Industrial Enclosures Accessories and Modifications
Common modifications or accessories that are used to enhance electrical cabinets.
Lighting kits
Lighting kits are often used in outdoor applications. There are many different styles of lighting kits that can be used, but LEDs have become the preferred lighting solution in the past several years.
Pressure switches
Pressure switches operate on a spring and react to the cabinet door opening and closing. They can be used for lights, intrusions alarms and exhaust fans.
Passive air vents
Passive air vents allow natural air circulation to flow through a cabinet providing proper ventilation.
Enclosure fans
Enclosure air fans are used when more ventilation is required. The size of the fan will depend on the size of the enclosure as well as the amount of air that needs to be circulated.
Air conditioners
Air conditioners are used when ambient air circulation is inadequate to cool the cabinet. The air conditioner size will depend on the enclosure size, ambient air temperature and heat generated within the cabinet.
Heaters
Heaters are used when a cabinet is located in areas that may be exposed to cold temperatures.
Locking mechanisms
Locking mechanisms are used to secure cabinets.
Conduit hole seals
Conduit hole seals are used on cabinets that have holes that need to be plugged after conduit has been removed.
