AEG ALUMINIUM286
- Product Introduction: AEG ALUMINIUM286 is a high-quality extruded aluminium enclosure designed specifically for housing industrial automation equipment, including PLCs, I/O modules, communication gateways, power supplies and small HMIs. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy, the enclosure offers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, and features a modular design with customizable options for mounting, wiring and access. It is engineered to meet international industrial enclosure standards, providing reliable protection for sensitive electronic equipment in harsh industrial environments, and is widely used in automation, control and instrumentation applications due to its lightweight and rugged properties.
- Technical Specifications:
- Material: High-grade 6063-T5 extruded aluminium alloy (main body); ABS plastic (end caps, optional); stainless steel (mounting hardware)
- Surface Treatment: Anodized finish (natural silver, black, custom colors available), corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant
- Standard Sizes (W x H x D): Multiple standard sizes available, core size 286 mm (H) with variable width (40-200 mm) and depth (80-300 mm); custom sizes on request
Detailed content
-

- Access Features: Removable end caps (screw-on/clip-on), hinged cover (optional), lockable access (optional for security)
- Customization: CNC machining for cutouts (ports, displays, buttons), drilling for mounting holes, internal mounting plates, custom surface finishes and labeling
- Compliance: IEC 60529 (IP rating), IEC 61439 (industrial control enclosures), RoHS compliant, REACH compliant
- Weight: Lightweight, 1.2-5.0 kg (depending on size), 30% lighter than equivalent steel enclosures
- Functional Features:
- High-grade 6063-T5 aluminium alloy construction delivers an excellent balance of mechanical strength and lightweight design, making installation and transportation easy while resisting mechanical impact and vibration
- Anodized surface treatment provides superior corrosion resistance, suitable for use in humid, dusty and mildly corrosive industrial environments (e.g., food, chemical, marine)
- Excellent thermal conductivity of aluminium alloy enables passive heat dissipation for enclosed electronic equipment, eliminating the need for additional cooling fans in most low-power applications and reducing energy consumption
- IP65 standard protection rating with gasketed end caps and cable glands prevents dust, water splashes and foreign matter from entering the enclosure, protecting sensitive electronic components
- Integrated 35 mm DIN-rail mounting inside the enclosure allows direct mounting of standard industrial automation components (PLCs, I/O modules, terminal blocks), eliminating the need for additional mounting plates
- Modular design with multiple standard sizes and customizable options (cutouts, mounting, finishes) adapts to a wide range of automation equipment and application requirements
- Internal cable management clips and pre-drilled cable entry points simplify wiring and organization of power and signal cables, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving maintenance efficiency
- Removable end caps and optional hinged covers provide easy access to internal equipment for installation, configuration and maintenance, without disassembling the entire enclosure from the mounting surface
- Compatible with a wide range of accessories (cable glands, mounting brackets, internal shelves, locks), enabling complete system customization for specific industrial applications
- Lightweight construction reduces structural load when mounted on walls or panels, making it suitable for mobile automation equipment and compact control cabinets
- Application Scenarios:
- Housing compact PLC and I/O module systems for small-scale industrial automation applications
- Enclosing communication gateways and fieldbus modules for industrial network infrastructure in factories and plants
- Protecting power supplies and signal conditioners for industrial instrumentation and sensor systems
- Housing small HMIs and operator panels for local control stations in manufacturing and process control
- Enclosing custom automation control circuits and prototype electronic systems for industrial R&D and testing
- Marine and offshore applications for housing corrosion-resistant automation equipment in humid and salt-laden environments
- Food and beverage production for housing automation equipment in washdown environments (with IP67 protection)
- Mobile automation equipment (AGVs, robotic carts) for lightweight and rugged enclosure of on-board control systems
- Building automation for housing HVAC and lighting control modules in commercial and industrial buildings
- Mining and mineral processing for housing rugged automation equipment in dusty and vibration-prone environments
