New round plastic enclosures for IoT and Industry 4.0 electronics

By Lee Teschler | November 8, 2018

The technoDISC round plastic enclosure for industrial electronics is based on the aluDISC diecast aluminum housings.

The new technoDISC cases are UV-stable and sealed to IP 66 (IP 67 optional), making rolec enclosuresthem candidates for Industry 4.0 and IoT applications both indoors and outside. The round design integrates visually when used in applications such as industrial pipework, shipboard equipment, vehicles etc.

These ‘go anywhere’ enclosures can be fitted to walls, bulkheads, machines – even when closed (protecting the seal and electronics during installation). Clip-on POM (polyoxymethylene) trims cover all the fixing and mounting screws.

New technoDISC’s smart design was inspired by the shape of a wristwatch, combining round aesthetics with flat surfaces to enable the mounting of cable glands and controls. The lid is recessed to accommodate a round membrane keypad or product label.

Inside the lid and base, there are fastening domes for self-tapping screws for the installation of PCBs and mounting plates.

The enclosures are available in four highly useful sizes from 4.33×3.82×2.17 in. to 7.48×7.05×3.54 in., delivering optimum internal space for mounting a wide variety of electronic and electrical components. The top and base are molded in UV-stable and flame-retardant Luran ASA (UL 94 V-0). The standard color is light gray, similar to RAL 7035. The POM clip-on covers are anthracite gray, RAL 7016.

Prices for technoDISC start at $50. Options and accessories include RFI/EMI shielding, mounting plates and supporting rails for terminals.

ROLEC also offers a full customizing service with CNC machining, bespoke colors, printing and engraving of legends and logos, membrane keypads and full assembly.
