FAQs
For installation, use the external mounting feet to secure the enclosure to walls or equipment frames. The surface-mount design allows faster retrofits and reduces the need for deep mounting brackets. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and level to maintain proper seal integrity, and verify seal compression with the oil-resistant gasket to prevent ingress during washdown and dust exposure.
Yes. The AC-8C8SS uses a screw cover and continuous hinge closure, which provides reliable access while maintaining a tight seal against dust and oils. This combination supports routine maintenance without sacrificing protection, and the stainless screws resist corrosion in challenging environments, contributing to longer enclosure life and lower maintenance costs.
The enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications and is rated NEMA 12, indicating protection against dust, non-outdoor moisture, and light splashes. These certifications simplify procurement audits and ensure that the enclosure meets common industrial safety and performance requirements for control panels in commercial and light-industrial settings.
Yes. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 14 gauge wall and an oil-resistant gasket, the AC-8C8SS is well-suited for environments with lubricants, solvents, or routine cleaning. The gasket and metal finish resist corrosion, supporting long service life and minimizing gasket replacements in maintenance schedules.
The enclosure improves reliability and reduces downtime due to its corrosion resistance, robust seal, and durable materials. While upfront costs may be higher than mild-steel alternatives, the extended service life, lower maintenance, and compliance with UL 508A CSA C22.2 can translate into lower lifecycle costs, fewer replacements, and faster, risk-averse commissioning of industrial automation projects.
