Enclosure Products Seal the deal
Enclosure hardware specialist, EMKA, is seeing increasing demand fromspecialist panel builders for sealing to IP66 and IP65. Higher levels of sealing are demanded of components such as spanner locks, wing handles, stainless steel hinges and extruded profile 'rubber' gaskets inmaterials such as EPDM, neoprene and PVC.
EMKA addresses demand with a range of IP66 items such as the
Programquarter-turn locks, which are complemented by hinges for flush and lay-on doors as well as extruded profile sealing gasket for doors and panel windows.
Following closely behind these IP66 locks is an IP65 range,
which is now available in stainless steel, since sealing, corrosion resistance and ruggedness frequently go hand in hand. EMKA’s stainless steel range of quarter-turn locks, wing knobs, T and L handles, and swinghandles are all IP65 as standard andmatched with rod lockmechanisms and hinges also in stainless steel.
Other products of note include the Program1000 compression
lift-and-turn swinghandle latches, which are ideal for cabinets in air-conditioning or vehicle equipment access situations, which require adjustment.
