Putting a handle on it
Hammond Electronics has added a further 24 variants to its handles range, which has been designed to complement enclosures, subracks, chassis, drawers and panels used in the electronic, networking, broadcasting and electrical markets. All styles of handle have pleasing modern lines that will enhance any enclosure or subrack to which they are fitted, says the company.
There are six main types in the handles' family: round steel bar, styled plastic and aluminium, plastic, square and oval aluminium, flexible vinyl carry and lift-up. The handles are available in a choice of finishes to complement or contrast with the equipment to which they are fitted. And depending on the material and style, they are available in chrome plate, black plasticised coating, natural anodised or black anodised.
Included in the range are products sized for use on the front of panels or subracks from 1U to 8U high. For mounting on the sides of enclosures, there are heavy-duty lift-up designs, which are rated at up to 150kg per pair.
