Amber Technology Erack aluminium transit rack

Click2Contact

Erack is a lightweight, 19″ ruggedised aluminium transit rack for electronic equipment, specifically designed for commercial and military applications when protection against physical, climatic and electromagnetic hazards are required, and where weight, strength and portability are critical issues.

The rack's external container has a rim that eliminates the edge extrusion and makes the case stronger, lighter and more resistant to ingress by water and dust.

The internal chassis frame is supported by special mounts which protect against shock and the unit is up to 30% lighter than other rack cases in its class.

It has front and rear access via precision interchangeable lids. Each lid is secured to the rack body by front-mounted, quarter-turn latches (allowing front and rear access when stacked).

Positive location between lids and body is achieved by male/female extrusions which incorporate a silicon seal giving all-weather protection to IP66.

The chassis is constructed from alochromed aluminium alloy, punched with ‘burst holes’ giving enhanced lightness and rigidity. The chassis is mounted on eight elastomeric mounts, fixed to the outer casing by robust anchor plates, which are focused towards the centre of mass of the case, ensuring the electronic equipment is protected against vibration and impact.

The suspended inner chassis can move up to 50 mm independently of the outer container and in any direction. An earthing/grounding strap is fitted to maintain conductivity between the equipment and the outer container.
