Feature → Business Impact → Application: The PBCS4 is built from carbon steel with a 14 gauge wall, delivering robust mechanical protection for control electronics and push button interfaces, reducing downtime and component failure rates in aggressive environments. This translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs on high-cycle machines used in automotive assembly or material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Surface mounting with external feet simplifies installation on walls or equipment frames, enabling faster commissioning and easier relocation if line layouts change, ideal for modular machine builds and reconfigurable automation cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Removable screw-cover doors, recessed pull rings, and plated screws streamline field servicing, enabling technicians to access control circuits quickly while preserving enclosure integrity, which lowers downtime during routine maintenance in food processing or packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Oil-resistant gasket and ANSI 61 gray painted finish provide reliable ingress protection against oil and solvent exposure, supporting machine convertibility in paint booths or print shops where solvent vapors are present. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Small single-door model with precise dimensions (6.25 in H × 6.37 in D × 7.25 in W) and a 5.3 lb weight creates a compact yet sturdy enclosure suitable for tight control panels, robotics stations, and conveyor control nodes in mid-sized systems. These design choices collectively improve installation predictability, reduce total cost of ownership, and support compliant, maintainable automation infrastructure.

FAQs
The PBCS4 is designed for surface mounting and includes external mounting feet for stable, wall- or frame-mounted installation. This enables quick deployment in crowded panels and equipment racks, and allows easy relocation if layout changes are required.
Constructed from carbon steel with a 14 gauge wall and a painted ANSI 61 gray finish, the enclosure provides rugged mechanical protection. It also features an oil-resistant gasket to enhance protection against oil and solvent exposure in machine rooms and production lines.
The PBCS4 carries a NEMA 12 rating, which protects against dust and light oil exposure in indoor settings. While ideal for many industrial applications, it is not an outdoor or wash-down-rated enclosure, so consider indoor installation and local environmental conditions.
Yes, the enclosure features a removable screw-cover door and a recessed pull ring, along with plated screws. This design facilitates quick access to internal components for inspection and servicing, reducing maintenance time and downtime in machine controls and panel assemblies.
The PBCS4 measures 6.25 in in height, 6.37 in in depth, and 7.25 in in width, with a weight of 5.3 lb. These compact dimensions support tight, space-constrained panels and allow integration with smaller control stations, motors, and switchgear without compromising protection.
