The right enclosure solution for every environment

BERNSTEIN aluminium enclosures combine stability, functionality and design - developed for industrial applications that demand more than standard.

Aluminium enclosures for industryMaximum protection for your technology - precise and versatile

Aluminium enclosures are the first choice when it comes to the reliable protection of sensitive electronics and control technology in industrial applications. Whether in automation, mechanical engineering or in potentially explosive areas - a robust aluminium enclosure provides reliable protection against external influences such as moisture, dust, temperature or electromagnetic radiation.

As a manufacturer with decades of experience, BERNSTEIN offers a broad portfolio of industrial enclosures made of aluminium - from standardised IP67 enclosures to individually machined special solutions. All models impress with their high material quality, precise workmanship and maximum configuration flexibility.

Protection starts with the right enclosureWhat is an aluminium enclosure?

Aluminium enclosures are among the most proven solutions when it comes to reliably protecting sensitive electronic or mechanical components from external influences.

Whether moisture, dust, heat or mechanical stress - in demanding industrial environments, the robust die-cast aluminium enclosure offers exactly the security that is needed.

The material aluminium has several advantages:
It is particularly stable, corrosion-resistant and efficiently dissipates heat - a real advantage when it comes to housing power-generating electronics.

At the same time, the natural EMC shielding ensures that sensitive components are not affected by external interference - a clear advantage over many plastic solutions.

BERNSTEIN aluminium enclosures are available in various sizes and protection classes and can be flexibly adapted to technical requirements - whether machined, coated, engraved or fully assembled.

High mechanical strength (IK08 / IK09)

Protection classes up to IP67

Corrosion-resistant and weatherproof

Flexible processing and customisation

Thermally conductive - ideal for power electronics

Optionally with ATEX / Ex / cULus approval

Powder coating in RAL colours possible

Aluminium enclosure - standardised or customisedThe right enclosure for every requirement

Aluminium enclosures are available in numerous designs - adapted to industry-specific requirements, environmental conditions and technical specifications. BERNSTEIN offers a sophisticated portfolio of industrial enclosures made of aluminium: from tried-and-tested standard enclosures to certified Ex variants and fully customised solutions.

  • Standard enclosures (CA series)
    Robust enclosures for universal use. Manufactured using the die-casting process, powder-coated as standard (RAL 7001), with polyurethane seal and stainless steel cover screws.
  • Ex-protected aluminium enclosures
    For potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX / IECEx). Available as an empty enclosure or with tested terminal equipment - e.g.e.g. forüfor zone 1/21.
  • Customised versions
    Customised to your requirements: machined, coated, engraved or fitted with components - including cable gland, terminals or membrane keypad.
  • Series & OEM solutions
    For customers who require aluminium enclosures in series - technically coordinated, cost-optimised and with optional branding.
