Get customised, bespoke enclosures with OEM
Having a protective house for your components is crucial in any electrical environment, which is why enclosures are one of our main offerings, they protect from the outside and keep components all in one place!
Enclosures may need to look a little appealing, or suit the environment they are in. Which is why OEM and Ensto create customised enclosures for our customers…
Examples of industries that require a customised enclosure
- EV charging stations
- Food and beverage
- Trace heating
- Agriculture
- Crane & equipment
Why would you need a customised enclosure?
- A high-quality, robust enclosure can improve the aesthetics of the application
- Identification purposes
- Branding
- Fit to your bespoke electrical requirements e.g., din rail assembly
- Original Ensto enclosure design may not be suitable for you
First, choose the right enclosure for you
Consider these following elements when choosing an enclosure:
Material
Choose from thermoplastics, polyester, or aluminium. Which one will ensure safety of equipment? However, if you require a certain material, Ensto can work with you on material selection.
Dimensions
What is the maximum and minimum dimensions of your application? Will you add further components? Again, we can create customer specific sizes.
What protection is required?
Ensto IP codes range between IP55 and IP67 and even IP69K if required. For example, if the enclosure needs to be dust tight and able to withstand high pressure and steam.
Ensto enclosures also include IK code and UL, for example the American market may requires UL listed enclosures.
Flammability
Does the enclosure need to be highly flammable? That depends on your application.
Our polycarbonate enclosures are flammable tested according to UL 746C.
Plastic enclosures also fulfil the glow wire test according to IEC 60695-2-11
Certification
Ensto Cubo enclosures are certified in accordance with EN 62208 (SGS Fimko). Most of our polycarbonate enclosures are also UL and cUL listed.
