    Example Configuration

    Example Configuration

    Hang your HMI and swivel it around to save floor space and comfortably access touch screens, buttons, and other operating equipment. These suspension arms have already-drilled mounting holes that match our steel enclosures for positioning arms. Route wire from your HMI components to a machine through a hole that runs through the entire arm. To prevent them from swinging too far and hitting people and equipment, locking pins let you restrict how far these arms pivot. Brakes lock their position into place.
    Customize a system for your application—you can create hundreds of different variations. A complete suspension arm requires at least a base, a tube, and a mount. Add components to extend your arm up to 80” from the base and expand its range of motion. Arms without a connector support up to 180 lbs. Those with a connector support up to 135 lbs., but the load it can hold decreases by 2 lbs. for every 1” over 40” from the base.

    Pole-Mounting Kit

    These kits come with everything you need to mount enclosures to round poles or beams. They clamp on to a range of pole diameters to hold enclosures securely in place. All of the parts are galvanized steel or stainless steel to resist corrosion and stand up to outdoor use. Mounting hardware includes screws and locknuts for installing enclosures with flanges. Sealing washers are also included to maintain NEMA 4, 4X, and 12 ratings when installing through the back of an enclosure.

    Base

    Raise your enclosure to access switches, gauges, screens, and other parts at a comfortable working height. These pedestals are hollow and have a gasketed access plate, so you can route and manage wires within the column to organize and protect them. All require a base (sold separately).
    Straight Pedestals—Combine straight pedestals with sloped enclosures. This combination positions buttons and other components at a comfortable angle.
    Angled Pedestals—Combine angled pedestals with standard enclosures. This combination positions buttons and other components at a comfortable angle.
    Powder-Coated Steel—Powder-coated steel pedestals resist rusting from water.
    304 Stainless Steel—304 stainless steel pedestals resist corrosion better than steel pedestals. They stand up to salt water and cleaners.
    Electrical Enclosure Pedestal Bases—Bases need to be anchored to the floor for stability.

    Floor Stands Shown Mounted

    Mount enclosures to the floor above hazards such as water. These stands also create access to install drains, connection points for wiring, and other components to the bottom of your enclosure. In addition to mounting to the floor, anchor enclosures to a wall or stable surface to prevent flexing, twisting, and stress on the enclosure’s bottom. A pair of floor stands supports 3,000 lbs. For heavier loads or enclosures over 120" wide, use a second pair of stands.
    Powder-Coated Steel—Powder-coated steel stands resist corrosion from water.
    304 Stainless Steel—304 stainless steel stands resist corrosion better than powder-coated steel stands. They tolerate salt water and cleaners.

    Electronics Rack Equipment Installation Supports

    Shelve your worries about dropping heavy and valuable rack components, from servers to router shelves. These supports create temporary ledges to let equipment—and your arms—rest as you set up your electronics rack. Each pack includes four supports, one to prop up each corner of the equipment. Simply snap them into the rack’s rail just below the level where you want to mount equipment. When you’re done installing, pop them right out.

    All Components Sold Separately

    Example Configuration

    Hang your HMI in areas with frequent washdowns. Made of 304 stainless steel, these arms resist corrosion from most cleaners and detergents. They’re also gasketed at every joint to seal out moisture. Since they suspend from surfaces, they won’t take up valuable floor space. The joints pivot, so you can position your HMI right where you need it. A brake locks the position in place. Use the locking pins to set how far these arms swing to keep them out of the way. Route wire to and from your HMI through a hole that runs through the entire arm.
    These arms are designed to mount to our stainless steel enclosures for positioning arms. A complete arm requires a base, tube, and mount. If you want to mount your arm to a wall or other vertical surface, you’ll need a bracket. Add an adapter if you want to tilt the enclosure. Arms that are 20" long support up to 250 lbs. For each additional inch, load capacity decreases by 2 lbs.
