Rittal SZ 7824.525 DK-TS8 Glazed doors 180° hinge

Feature → The DK-TS8 180° hinge is engineered for glazed doors on TS 8 bayed enclosures with comfort handles. It enables a large 140° opening, improving access to interior components during installation, maintenance, and inspection. The hinge uses precision die-cast zinc components to minimize play, delivering consistent, smooth operation even in vibration-prone factory environments and under wide temperature swings typical in automation facilities. Feature → Material strength and finish translate to longer service life and lower replacement costs. The die-cast zinc construction provides robust wear resistance in harsh environments, while the RAL 7035 finish ensures color and corrosion protection consistent with other Rittal enclosures. This combination reduces maintenance cycles, helps preserve enclosure seal integrity, and supports reliable operation across multi-shift production lines. Feature → Assembly and packaging efficiency. The product includes assembly parts and ships in packs of 4, with a weight of 1.616 kg per pack, enabling straightforward logistics and on-site stocking. The standardized hardware accelerates mounting, ensures repeatable alignment, and minimizes field errors during retrofits or new builds. Contractors benefit from predictable lead times and a smoother commissioning process, reducing downtime and accelerating time-to-value. Feature → Compatibility and installation advantages. It is suitable for glazed aluminium doors and TS 8 bayed enclosure suites with comfort handles, ensuring correct fitment with nominal adjustments. The hinge is designed to maintain door alignment across repeated cycles and tolerate the typical door loads in automation environments. By aligning with TS family standards, it reduces variant proliferation and simplifies service spare planning for integrators and end users. Feature → Practical considerations and objections. For budgets and downtime concerns, this hinge provides a cost-effective upgrade by extending door life and improving access for routine maintenance. Its robust construction handles daily cycling, while the included installation parts minimize commissioning risk. If enclosure protection levels shift during upgrades, the hinge design preserves structural performance and avoids unnecessary enclosure disassembly, delivering predictable ROI for mid-to-large automation projects.
