Environmental Housing for Motion Sensors

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Environmental Housing

Definition

This Environmental Housing is a specialized component used in motion sensors to provide physical protection against moisture, dust, temperature extremes, and mechanical impacts. It creates a sealed or semi-sealed barrier around sensitive internal parts, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions. The housing is available in engineering plastics, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, with a standard operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (per IEC 60068-2-1) and ingress protection ratings from IP65 to IP67 (per IEC 60529). The aluminum alloy version uses ADC12 material with a corrosion-resistant coating (per ASTM B85) and an anodized surface finish (Type II, clear or black, per MIL-A-8625). Wall thickness ranges from 2.0 to 3.5 mm, overall dimensions are 100×60×40 mm (L×W×H), and weight is 0.3 to 0.8 kg. It withstands impacts of 7 J (per IEC 60068-2-27) and vibration from 10 to 500 Hz (per IEC 60068-2-6). Operating humidity is 5 to 95% RH (non-condensing, per IEC 60068-2-78). The cable gland thread is M20×1.5 (per DIN EN 60423), and the mounting hole pattern is 80×40 mm with four holes for M5 screws. Custom sizes are available on request. This housing is intended for use in computer, electronic, and optical product manufacturing as a component. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.

Working Principle

The housing functions as a protective barrier, using its material and design to prevent environmental ingress while maintaining sensor functionality. It may be sealed or semi-sealed, with gaskets or other features to block moisture and dust. The material choice (engineering plastics, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel) and wall thickness (2.0–3.5 mm) provide mechanical strength to resist impacts and vibrations. The anodized finish on aluminum enhances corrosion resistance. The housing includes a cable gland thread (M20×1.5) for secure cable entry and a mounting hole pattern for installation. By enclosing sensitive components, it ensures stable operation within specified temperature, humidity, and vibration limits.
