Compact enclosures offer configuration options

October 2005 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Rittal is offering a comprehensive new enclosure series for the configuration of compact controllers, featuring a range of interior installation and cable entry options. As an alternative to the large enclosures in the AE series and as a successor to the AK series, the Rittal CM offers compatibility with TS 8 installation components and the broad range of Rittal system accessories.

Special rails for interior installation which are attached to the enclosure side panels using existing threaded bolts ensure maximum flexibility. TS 8 system punchings support the mounting of TS 8 installation components such as punched sections with mounting flanges, punched rails and support strips. Further benefits include more space, more stability and the increased cable entry option is made possible by the large opening in the base and the numerous combinations of the gland plates. Use of the modular TS 8 base/plinth system also offers significant functional advantages.

Rittal has devised a novel detail for rapid attachment of the mounting plate, which is simply inserted underneath and secured from above with a clip, leaving both hands free to screw-fasten the mounting plate. Spot-welded perforated mounting strips on a 25 mm pitch pattern on both doors are an additional feature for universal interior installation. The compact system enclosure has a new handle borrowed from the TS 8. It folds, rather than swings. This way the new folding lever handle does not take up any rotation space, allowing optimum use of the door surface for installed equipment.

The new Rittal CM system enclosure is available in a single-door version in widths 600 and 800 mm and heights 800, 1000 and 1200 mm, as well as in a two-door version in widths 1000 and 1200 mm and heights 1000, 1200 and 1400 mm. Users may choose between 300 and 400 mm deep versions. The triple surface treatment with phosphating, electrophoretic-dipcoat priming and powder coating ensures comprehensive protection from corrosion and resistance to lubricants, machining agents and detergents.
