IT enclosures

Advantages and features of IT enclosures

In almost every sector and industry, the amount of automation is steadily increasing, which generally goes hand-in-hand with increased support provided by a diverse range of computer systems. These important IT infrastructure components can be reliably protected over a long period of time with IT enclosures.

As such, electrical and electronic components such as servers, control units, memory units or network components can be securely shielded. This is necessary since industrial environments are often characterised by extreme conditions, including vibrations, dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Specially designed IT enclosures offer comprehensive protection for sensitive hardware by creating a safe space for it.

The IT enclosures are made from thin sheet metal. This guarantees high strength and durability, especially in comparison to a simple ABS enclosure or an aluminium enclosure.

In addition, sheet metal as an enclosure material enables the efficient dissipation of heat, which is particularly important in order to guarantee the optimal operating temperature of electronic devices. Sheet metal also offers an effective barrier against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Applications of IT enclosures in industry

The ability of sheet metal to resist corrosion and other environmental influences contributes to extending the lifespan of the enclosure, thus improving the overall life of the IT infrastructure. On the whole, the combination of strength, malleability, and resistance makes sheet metal an exceptional choice for the manufacture of robust and durable IT enclosures.

IT enclosures are a worthwhile investment for many industries, including:

• Measuring & control technology
• Process technology
• Mechanical engineering
• Pharmaceutical and food industry

Purchase IT enclosures online in the Automation24 online shop

You will find a selection of IT enclosures from Rittal within the Automation24 product range, available from stock. The IT enclosures from the DK Series are designed as so-called flatboxes, meaning they are supplied in a flat box and can be assembled directly on site. This enables fast and easy delivery and guarantees simple transport directly to the place of use. Thanks to the use of snap elements, assembly can be performed without tools.

Depending on the model and size, the load-bearing capacity ranges from max. 450-750 N. The IT enclosures also have a sight window with safety glass, whereby the stop can be freely configured. Fan vents on the side panels, and on the top and base frame, ensure passive ventilation and thus support cooling.

The Automation24 product range also includes other steel enclosures and stainless steel enclosures produced by Rittal. A wide range of enclosure accessories rounds off the product range, for example with compatible fans.

The use of IT enclosures in industry not only contributes to extending the lifespan of components, but also minimises downtime by providing a reliable and protected environment for important IT infrastructure. Overall, these enclosures play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and reliability of computer systems and are as such an important component within industrial processes.
