Question 1

What enclosure materials are available?

Accepted Answer

Aluminium, GRP/polyester, sheet steel, stainless steel V2A/V4A, and thermoplastic options are available.

Question 2

How do I choose the right enclosure material?

Accepted Answer

Aluminium for robust machinery, GRP for corrosion resistance and insulation, stainless steel for hygiene/corrosion, sheet steel for control/junction boxes, thermoplastic for compact electronics.

Question 3

Which enclosure series are available from stock?

Accepted Answer

Key GBA, GBA Ex, GBP, GBP Ex, GBS, and thermoplastic variants are stock-oriented; sheet steel and V4A are often project-based.

Question 4

Are Ex enclosures available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, aluminium and GRP Ex variants are available for hazardous-area projects with project-specific documentation.

Question 5

What is the typical protection rating?

Accepted Answer

Depending on series, protection ranges from IP65 to IP66 standard, with IP67/IP68/IP69 options on selected enclosure families.

Question 6

Can the enclosures be used outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the correct material, coating, sealing system, cable glands, and installation method.

Question 7

What is the value of aluminium enclosures?

Accepted Answer

GBA aluminium housings provide high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, IK09 impact performance, and broad size coverage.

Question 8

What is the value of GRP enclosures?

Accepted Answer

GBP GRP housings offer corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, low weight, and good performance in industrial and chemical environments.

Question 9

When should stainless steel be selected?

Accepted Answer

Use stainless steel where hygiene, washdown, corrosion resistance, or harsh mechanical conditions are critical.

Question 10

What is the difference between V2A and V4A stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

V2A suits many industrial environments; V4A/316L is preferred for more corrosive or hygiene-sensitive applications.

Question 11

When are sheet steel enclosures the best choice?

Accepted Answer

For industrial junction boxes, wiring distribution, retrofit projects, and cost-efficient control installations.

Question 12

When are thermoplastic enclosures useful?

Accepted Answer

For compact electrical/electronic assemblies where low weight, insulation, and PC/ABS material benefits matter.

Question 13

Which gasket concepts are used?

Accepted Answer

GBA and GBP use neoprene as standard, silicone can be ordered optionally, and Ex versions always use silicone for higher temperature capability.

Question 14

Can EMC versions be supplied?

Accepted Answer

Yes, EMC-oriented enclosure concepts can be combined with conductive sealing, EMC cable glands, and grounding strategy.

Question 15

Can mounting plates and DIN rails be integrated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, galvanized mounting plates and TS15/TS35 rail concepts support clean internal assembly.

Question 16

Are CAD and STEP files available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PDF drawings and STEP models are available for engineering integration across the main enclosure families.

Question 17

Can enclosures be machined or customized?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cut-outs, drilling, colors, mounting layouts, nameplates, and project-specific configurations can be supported.

Question 18

How do accessories improve enclosure value?

Accepted Answer

Cable glands, earthing points, terminal blocks, seals, screws, brackets, and rails create a complete installation-ready system.

Question 19

What reduces project risk?

Accepted Answer

Correct material selection, validated IP concept, matching cable entry, documented approvals, and CAD-supported planning.

Question 20

Why source enclosure and accessories together?

Accepted Answer

It reduces interface risk, shortens engineering time, and improves delivery reliability for OEMs and panel builders.
