Tested down to the details
Empty enclosure standard according to DIN EN 62208
Static load
The load capacity of an enclosure is tested using a static
load test. The enclosure is subjected to a certain load
(a weight specied by the manufacturer) for one hour. No
damage should be incurred by the enclosure during this
time.
Depending on their sizes, the Klippon
®
TB enclosures can
withstand loads ranging from 15 to 300 kg.
We can, on request by the customer, calculate the carrying
capacity of the enclosure when under heavy loads.
Axial loads of metal inserts
The load capacity of the mounting plates installed in the
enclosure are tested here. An axial force is put on the
mounting plates. This force depends on the thread size of
the fastening screws in use (refer to the standards table
below).
Thread size Pull-out force, in N

The enclosure may not be changed in any way after the
testing has taken place.
Degree of protection against dust and water
(IP code)
The main purpose of an enclosure is to protect its inner
components from external inuences such as dust and
moisture.
Thus enclosures are rated according to their IP (ingress
protection) level. The enclosures are tested according to
DIN EN 60529 to provide proof of their IP class.
The rst number of the IP code indicates the degree of dust
resistance that the enclosure provides.

For the IP6X test, the enclosure is placed in a test chamber
lled with talcum powder for 8 hours. The talcum powder
is kept in a constant state of suspension and a vacuum is
created within the enclosure. IP6X protection is met if no
dust deposits can be seen within the enclosure.
dust deposits can be seen within the enclosure.
The second digit of the IP code indicates the enclosure’s
resistance against water.
