eading UK supplier of plastic and metal fasteners, enclosures and components, Anixter Component Solutions, has launched a new lighting brochure dedicated to meet the demands and increased volume of customers requiring components for industrial lighting applications. The new brochure has been launched to provide design engineers and purchasing professionals with an introduction to Anixter Components’ solutions for lighting, and provides an overview of its standard product lines, and information about its additional services. Two lighting components in particular are proving to be very popular. The Click Fit Snap-in Protection Grommet for industrial

applications is a revolutionary two-component grommet with cable anchorage, designed to offer many advantages found in a conventional cable gland but at a much-reduced cost. The Click-Fit Grommet is very easy to install saving up to 90% of installation time. A key feature is that it doesn’t require tools to install, and has a pop-out membrane that is a permanent seal until penetrated by a cable or pipe. Also for industrial lighting applications is the Low Profile Snap-In Protection Grommet. These grommets differ from existing products due to their built-in features including a pop-out membrane to ensure a consistent round opening and IP67, plus a sleeve feature that closes tight around the cable, allowing it to be moved like a joystick without compromising the IP classification. These grommets are quick and easy to install and are available in four sizes – M16, M20, M25 and M32 clearance holes. The company also offers customers a unique supply chain proposition to cover any requirement.
This includes a wide range of standard products, a bespoke parts sourcing service for non-standard parts, or a custom design service to adapt an existing part or to develop a unique solution. With access to a global supply chain network, Anixter Component Solutions can source any lighting component required.

e were approached by a customer and asked to provide the capability to increase the operating temperature of their cabinet up to a maximum of 68°C. The “FPF” which was used in the unit at the time was only able to handle 55°C maximum air temperature.
The team here at Axair Fans established two possible solutions. The first being to use a negative pressure system i.e. the fan extracts the heated air from the cabinet and ambient air is sucked in to cool the cabinet meaning the fan is exposed to the full operating temperature inside the cabinet.
If the system is reversed to provide a positive pressure i.e. the fan blows into the cabinet the fan and motor are only exposed to ambient air from outside, another advantage is that as the cabinet is pressurised, dust and other ingress is kept out as air will escape from gaps in the cabinet fittings. Unfortunately this idea was rejected and we went back to the drawing board.
The customer insisted the cabinet was negatively pressurised as their original design. We proposed Ecofit’s two basket guard mounted Ø250 axial fan in place of the original Fandis “FPF” extracting the heated air from inside the cabinet as the Ecofit fan is able to handle a maximum air temperature of 70°C.
The air inlet is provided by Fandis filter grills so the air coming into the cabinet is clean and filtered providing the solution which was subsequently approved and ordered by the customer. For more information on fan filter units or high temperature fans contact the Axair team today.
