Choosing an enclosure
Our Ensto Cubo range includes
enclosures made of thermoplastics
(ABS and polycarbonate), polyester,
and aluminium. We use high-quality
materials provided to us by the world’s
leading suppliers. Using the right
material ensures the safety of the
installed equipment and its users while
also eliminating the risk of unnecessary
additional costs arising from unexpected
downtime. The maintenance needs of an
enclosure depend on the materials used.
When choosing a protective enclosure, understanding
the principles of operation of the equipment that will
be installed, as well as the conditions in which that
equipment will operate, is crucial. With this information,
precise and accurate identication of the required
enclosure parameters is possible. Parameters to be
considered include:
Material
The size of the enclosure is determined by
the minimum and/or maximum dimen-
sions of the application. When selecting the
size, please consider whether further com-
ponents are likely to be added at a later
stage and, if so, whether the dimensions of
the enclosure will still be adequate.
We have a wide range of sizes available
for our standard enclosures. In addition
to these, we can create solutions with
customer-specic sizes.
Dimensions
For eective enclosure, the degree of
protection is an important factor. The
degree of protection is dened purely for
the enclosure and should be maintained
during the installation work, meaning
that, for instance the IP code of the cable
glands used for cable entries should
be higher or the same as that of the
enclosure. Further information about
degrees of protection is available on
page 10.
IP code (European standard EN 60529)
All Ensto Cubo enclosures are designed
for use in demanding environments. Their
IP code ranges between IP65 and IP67.
We have also made customer-specic
solutions with an IP69K rating that covers
high-pressure, high-temperature wash-
down applications. These applications
are dust tight and able to withstand high-
pressure and steam cleaning.
IK code (European standard EN 62262)
The IK code for our thermoplastic enclo-
sures ranges between IK06 and IK10.
Environmental type classication
UL 50 E
Our enclosures are tested according to
American environmental type classication
by the UL. Environmental type classica-
tion is also known as NEMA classication.
Further information can be found on the
UL website ul.com.
