silicon gasket

This popular specialist Sealing profile is an excellent example of a standard profile design – in this case it is made of solid Silicon self-clamping fire protection material to 75 ± 5 Shore A in pure white; 1011-S42-HA

Part of Program 1011, this sealing profile is designed for specific applications where fire protection and sealing properties are essential. While its availability is contingent on specific requests, it provides a reliable solution for applications requiring fire-resistant sealing in a clean and aesthetically pleasing white design.

Other specialist sealing sections include those for Railway applications, HVACR installations, hygiene environments and for specialist vehicles such as caravans and trailers.

remote and electronic locking

Our colleagues here at EMKA have recently put together an informative article about the common features between switch, control, and server racks. This piece explains that they are subject to stringent requirements because they must provide the best possible protection for the electronics and other, sometimes highly sensitive, devices inside the rack. It is imperative to prevent the infiltration of dust, dirt, and water. Moreover, it is critical to ascertain the safety of the contents and restrict unauthorized persons from gaining access. The article showcases how this can be achieved through our innovative locking systems.

It covers time saving of locking systems to the convenience of our new app for remote electronic locking – this new Agent E BLE app can be used for almost all standard server racks on the market and is easy to install. The installation does not require any cabling in the racks, and ongoing operations can continue without interruption. The handles are also managed, and authorisations are assigned via the free “EMKA Smart Access Admin” app.

Electronic locking systems from EMKA Ltd

We are delighted to announce our range of electronic locking systems – these are exemplified by handles such as those used in the Agent E systems, which are suited to stand-alone cabinets and Data Centres using a card or a smartphone app. Elsewhere we have quick release internally mounted electronic single-point catches and e-pushlock systems for parcel collection lockers or pharmaceutical storage and distribution lockers where customers buy a code which enables the system to operate the door with full traceability.

An excellent example of a data centre installation is by energie wasser luzern (ewl) at the old civil defence bunker in the Wartegg hill near Lucerne – the Stollen Lucerne Data Centre boasts five major tunnels, each allocated 200 square metres for IT system hardware.

ewl Rechenzentrum AG developed a detailed plan for the sophisticated locking system they wanted to install in the bunker. The “Agent E Wireless” system fitted their criteria exactly with its wireless locking system enhanced by an iris scanner upgrade

A recent development for outdoor installations has been a swinghandle for the iLOQ S50 profile half cylinder lock, which expands operational possibilities by using an energy-autonomous, digital locking solution. The system can be unlocked using a smartphone or digital key and, at the same time, is powered wirelessly by the same transmission.

The robust construction of vulnerable parts in high-grade zinc die ensures that the system includes IK 10 degree of protection in compliance with DIN EN 50102 and burglar resistance class RC2. The hybrid construction uses a polyamide housing with a die-cast zinc handle so as to meet all relevant security standards.

Thinking along similar lines smart access with a mobile phone app is our latest development in this arena, a move which promises to enable the benefits of new technology across all industrial enclosure/cabinet applications.

The new “EMKA mobile” app, transforms a mobile phone into a digital key for the sophisticated locking solution. With this app it is possible to trace, manage, and access allocated handles with various levels of permission determined by specified user profiles. The communication between the app and the handle is based on Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE).

New hinge requires no tools to fit.

Why make installation difficult when it can be so easy? With our new 125° clip-in hinge, doors and flaps can be easily mounted to the frame and removed again. The internal hinge for surface-mounted doors is suitable for classic industrial applications as well as for use in special vehicle construction or in rail vehicles.

This new 125° clip-in hinge allows for effortless attachment and removal of doors and flaps from the frame. To mount the door or flap in place, the door section assembly is placed on the plastic sliding discs of the frame section. Simply push the door section assembly horizontally towards the hinge pin until it is in place. A clicking sound confirms the proper installation. Applying a light pressure against the door, the door parts of the hinges lock and are firmly connected to the frame parts.
