Aluminium Enclosure Small by HAMMOND Extruded Belt Housing 56.9mm

Description

Product Overview

The HAMMOND small aluminium enclosure is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial and scientific equipment. Constructed from high‑grade extruded aluminium, the housing delivers exceptional rigidity while maintaining a lightweight profile that simplifies installation and reduces overall system weight. The extrusion process creates a seamless, uniform wall thickness that resists deformation, ensuring the enclosure retains its shape even under mechanical stress or temperature fluctuations.

Measuring 56.92 mm in external height, 168.46 mm in width, and 231.15 mm in depth, this compact enclosure fits neatly into tight spaces where larger housings would be impractical. Despite its modest dimensions, the interior volume provides ample room for a variety of electronic components, including circuit boards, sensors, and wiring harnesses. The design incorporates strategically placed mounting points and cable entry slots that streamline assembly and facilitate quick service access.

One of the standout features of this enclosure is its superior corrosion resistance. The aluminium alloy is treated with a protective anodized finish that shields the surface from moisture, chemicals, and abrasive particles commonly encountered in industrial environments. This finish not only prolongs the lifespan of the enclosure but also preserves its aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for both functional and visible installations.

Thermal management is another critical consideration addressed by the HAMMOND enclosure. The extruded aluminium acts as an efficient heat sink, dissipating heat generated by internal components and helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures. This passive cooling capability reduces the need for additional fans or active cooling systems, thereby lowering overall power consumption and simplifying system design.

In addition to its robust construction, the enclosure offers excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The conductive aluminium material forms a continuous barrier that attenuates external electromagnetic fields, protecting sensitive electronics from interference that could degrade performance or cause malfunctions. This shielding is particularly valuable in environments with high‑frequency equipment or radio‑frequency emissions.

Customization options are available to tailor the enclosure to specific application requirements. Customers can select from a range of finish colors, add venting or sealing accessories, and incorporate internal mounting brackets or panels. These options enable a high degree of flexibility, allowing the enclosure to be adapted for diverse use cases such as motor control units, PLC cabinets, or precision measurement instruments.

Quality assurance is integral to HAMMOND’s manufacturing process. Each enclosure undergoes rigorous testing, including dimensional verification, surface finish inspection, and mechanical load assessment. The result is a product that consistently meets or exceeds industry standards for durability, safety, and performance.

Environmental sustainability is also a priority. The aluminium used in the enclosure is sourced from recycled material wherever possible, reducing the carbon footprint associated with raw material extraction. At the end of its service life, the enclosure can be fully recycled, contributing to a circular economy and minimizing waste.</n

Overall, the HAMMOND small aluminium enclosure combines strength, precision engineering, and thoughtful design to deliver a reliable solution for protecting critical components in demanding applications.

Usage

This enclosure is ideally suited for belt and chain drive systems found in manufacturing automation, material handling equipment, and conveyor mechanisms. Its compact footprint allows it to be mounted directly onto motor housings or adjacent to gearboxes, providing immediate protection for control electronics and wiring.

In scientific laboratories, the enclosure serves as a protective housing for data acquisition modules, sensor arrays, and power supplies. The EMI shielding and thermal management features ensure that delicate instrumentation operates reliably, even in environments with fluctuating electromagnetic fields or temperature variations.

Field installations benefit from the enclosure’s ruggedness and weather‑resistant finish. Whether deployed in outdoor processing plants, mining operations, or agricultural machinery, the enclosure safeguards internal components from dust, rain, and corrosive chemicals, extending service intervals and reducing maintenance costs.

FAQ

What is the maximum internal volume of the enclosure?

The internal volume is approximately 0.85 cubic liters, providing sufficient space for most control boards, wiring, and small accessories used in belt drive applications.

Can the enclosure be mounted vertically or horizontally?

Yes, the enclosure features versatile mounting brackets that allow installation in either orientation, giving you flexibility to fit the housing within a variety of system layouts.

Is the enclosure compatible with IP‑rated sealing accessories?

HAMMOND offers a range of IP‑rated gaskets and sealing kits that can be added to the enclosure to achieve the desired protection level, such as IP65 for dust and water resistance.

How does the anodized finish affect heat dissipation?

The anodized coating is thin enough to maintain the aluminium’s natural thermal conductivity while providing a durable, corrosion‑resistant surface. Heat is still efficiently transferred to the surrounding environment.

What warranty does HAMMOND provide for this enclosure?

All HAMMOND aluminium enclosures come with a standard one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship, with options to extend coverage through our service contracts.
