Telescopic rails support full-size subracks

The latest telescopic rails from Elma Electronic feature a rugged, ultrathin 7mm wide construction that enables full size 84HP wide subracks to be mounted in 19in cabinets.

The latest telescopic rails from Elma Electronic feature a rugged, ultrathin 7mm wide construction that enables full size 84HP wide subracks to be mounted in 19in cabinets.

The roller assisted rails are designed to meet MIL standards, and are rated to 90kg dynamic loading per pair, with up to 566mm extension.

For safety, the rails may be locked at full extension.

The telescopic rails also feature adjustable mounting brackets to suit cabinet depths from 582 to 1001mm, with the standard fixing kits and closed fixing holes ensuring secure mounting in high density applications such as AdvancedTCA, COTS and other demanding telecomms and defence projects.

The zinc plated steel construction and roller assisted motion match the proven 60kg family of telescopic rails from Elma Electronic, and provide low friction without the need for any additional lubrication.

The 7mm thickness enables standard 84HP subracks to be fitted into unmodified cabinets, whereas conventional heavy duty rails have limited the subrack to a reduced 81HP width.

These new rails have been designed for maximum reliability, with 100 pull-outs guaranteed at the full 90kg load.

Ease of use and safety are also provided with a rating of up to eight pull-outs per minute.

Testing is underway for full MIL approval.
