Enclosures and knobs for HVAC and environmental technology

OKW has expanded its range of electronic enclosures and tuning knobs for HVAC, climate control and environmental technology.

The specialist enclosure manufacturer supplies IP-rated housings for applications including wind turbine control, air quality metering, Geiger counters, agricultural climate control, inspection cameras and leak detection.

HVAC, climate control and environmental electronics must withstand a range of hazards, including temperature fluctuations, particles (dust/fibres/spores), low-level vibration, and cleaning with aggressive chemicals. Devices demand robust enclosures with good ingress protection.

The company's outdoor wall-mount enclosures include SOLID-BOX (IP 66, IP 67, IK 08), which can be installed 'id closed' to protect the electronics and seal, and ROBUST-BOX (IP 66), which provides a wide range of sizes by combining flat and high tops and bases.

Indoor wall-mount enclosures include stylish NET-BOX (IP 65), which has a curved top and a front lid that conceals connectors and low-profile DIATEC, which has a central control panel for mounting a touch screen, display or keypad.

Other models include MINI-DATA-BOX (IP 65) and EASYTEC (IP 65) fast-fit sensor enclosures. Both enclosures feature flanges for quick and easy mounting with screws or cable ties. MINI-DATA-BOX can also be specified without flanges.

The company's CONTROL-KNOBS and ergonomic STAR-KNOBS are excellent for menu-driven interfaces. CONTROL-KNOBS have a soft-touch surface for comfort and anti-slip operation. STAR-KNOBS can be either surface-mounted or flush-fitted. Both ranges feature energy-saving SMD LED illumination (optional).

The company also has an expansive range of accessories and can provide its products fully customised. Services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding, and installation/assembly of accessories.
