Description of the protection class
Description of the protection class
Control devices are often used in open environmental conditions, so the issue of moisture and water drainage in control devices is always important.
The degree of protection we apply as options for standard models, including personalization of all customer needs, which we are technically ready to implement. We can reach protection against the effects of temporary immersion in water.
Degree of protection:
– B10 Joystick-main circuit board grouted (IP67)
– B11 Joystick-main circuit board grouted (IP67) and grip function sealed, grip with drain hole
Shock resistance
Shock resistance
In the industrial sector, the issue of shock resistance and the ability to continue functional operation after short-term shocks, which can occur in extreme conditions, is always relevant. For this reason, we conduct additional testing and determine a category of short-term shock resistance, which we can improve if the conditions for a high degree of shock resistance are relevant for the end customer. We pay a lot of attention to contact systems and small positioning devices.
Mechanical shock resistance IEC 68-2-27: Shock-amplitude > 15, Shock duration 20 ms
Clearances and creepage distances IEC 947-1; 2.5.46.51: Overvoltage category III pollution grade 3
