Polycarbonate enclosures

Advantages and properties of polycarbonate enclosures

A polycarbonate enclosure is a first-class solution for industrial automation. Manufactured from the robust plastic material polycarbonate, it provides reliable protection for electrical and electronic components in industrial environments. Of all plastic enclosures, polycarbonate enclosures often offer the highest level of protection. They frequently have a higher protection rating and higher impact resistance in comparison to an ABS enclosure or a polyester enclosure, and are particularly robust.

Polycarbonate is a transparent thermoplastic material with exceptional impact resistance. It offers high strength, is light, and has good dimensional stability. For this reason, these are generally also the enclosures with the largest dimensions. Polycarbonate enclosures are commonly used for applications in which a high level of transparency or impact resistance are required.

What's more, they are exceptionally resistant to chemical substances, oils, and solvents, which extends their scope of use to include challenging industrial environments. Furthermore, polycarbonate enclosure are light, which facilitates transport and installation, and yet sufficiently robust to guarantee reliable protection.

Polycarbonate is characterised by corrosion and weather resistance. The use of UV-stabilised polycarbonate means that the enclosures are also UV resistant. As a result of these properties, polycarbonate enclosures (in comparison to other materials) are particularly well-suited for outdoor use or for installation in harsh environments. Other advantages include their durability and the fact that they are almost completely maintenance-free.

The use of polycarbonate enclosures in automation technology is versatile. For instance, they are used in control systems to protect sensitive components against impact, dust, and moisture. In measuring & regulation technology and in process instrumentation, they provide reliable protection for sensor systems, measuring devices, and other sensitive instruments.

By way of example, polycarbonate enclosures are suitable for the following sectors:

• Mechanical engineering
• Wastewater management
• Measurement technology
• Robotics
• Process technology
• Pharmaceutical and food industry
