The SX range of industrial enclosures includes 14 sizes manufactured in either mild steel or stainless steel. Depending on the enclosure size, SX industrial enclosures are available in standard depths of 140, 200 or 300 mm, and can be fitted with removable gland plates on any or all of the four sides. The mild steel version (MSX) of the SX industrial enclosure is available with a number of paint options (most RAL colors available) and anti-corrosion finishes – please contact ABTECH Inc. for design assistance. The stainless steel range (SSX) of SX industrial enclosures is manufactured in 316 grade stainless steel, delivering the maximum environmental protection. The main body of SX industrial enclosures is manufactured from 2mm thick sheet, and the mounting straps and gland plates from 3mm thick plate. Cable entries can be drilled in the sides or through the gland plates, if fitted, or through the enclosure wall. Entries may also be drilled through the rear face of the SX industrial enclosure.

The SX range of industrial enclosures was specifically designed to meet the rigors of the North Sea environment and is capable of achieving IP66 and IP67 standards. SX industrial enclosures have also undergone and passed the Shell/ERA deluge test, devised to adequately test enclosures and electrical equipment that is routinely subjected to ships’ decks conditions or fire deluge systems. IP68 enclosures are also available for depths up to 120 ft by special order. Another advantage of the SX range of industrial enclosures is they are suitable for fire resistance applications; and, when fitted with ceramic terminals, meet the requirements of IEC 331 (750°C for 3 hours) and also BS6387/1983 (950°C for 3 hours).

Another important feature of the SX range of industrial enclosures is the door, which is held to the SX industrial enclosure by at least 4 captive stainless steel screws, maintaining the correct compression on the gasket. The hinges are solid block, machined oversize to enable the screws to control the closing of the door, not the hinge. The only function of the SX industrial enclosure door hinge is to support the door when opened. The hinges allow easy removal of the door with only minimal opening required before removal (less than 10°).

The SX range of industrial enclosures has many features suitable for a wide range of applications, including the ability to be constructed to almost any dimension due to its fabricated nature. This can also be applied to EEx'e' enclosures , where the certification allows oversize industrial enclosures to be manufactured while retaining the next smallest sized enclosure power rating. Other applications include junction boxes, in both industrial and hazardous areas, OEM applications, fire protection systems, tunnel wiring and IP68 applications, to name a few. Grounding is accomplished by means of an external/internal earth stud, which can be connected to the terminal mounting rail or component mounting plate. In addition, optional earth studs can be fitted to the door and gland plates. Rail mounted ground terminals or proprietary ground bars can be fitted inside the enclosure as well – please contact the ABTECH sales staff for design assistance. When fitted with a standard neoprene gasket, the enclosure is suitable for ambient temperatures of -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). Alternatively when fitted with an optional silicone gasket, the temperature range increases to -70°C to 130°C (-94°F to 226°F). Again, call or email the ABTECH sales department with all your questions!
