Metallgehäuse

Metallgehäuse, also known as metal enclosures, are protective casings manufactured from various metals. These enclosures serve to shield internal components from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, impact, and electromagnetic interference. The choice of metal depends on the specific application and required properties. Common materials include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and copper alloys.

Aluminum is frequently used due to its lightweight nature, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for electronic devices and power supplies. Steel offers superior strength and durability, often employed in industrial machinery and robust electronic equipment. Stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a hygienic surface, ideal for food processing, medical equipment, and outdoor applications. Copper alloys are chosen for their excellent electrical conductivity, often found in high-frequency electronic applications.

Metallgehäuse are manufactured using various techniques, including sheet metal fabrication, die casting, and machining. Sheet metal fabrication involves cutting, bending, and welding metal sheets into the desired shape. Die casting is used for complex shapes with high precision. Machining is employed for intricate designs or when very tight tolerances are required. The design of a metallgehäuse considers factors like ventilation, cable entry, mounting points, and accessibility for maintenance. They play a crucial role in the longevity, reliability, and safety of the enclosed equipment across a wide range of industries, including electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
