ARAK24

Overview

The Hoffman ARAK24 is a heavy-duty aluminum rack assembly designed for industrial control panels. It features a 24-inch height and supports standard 19-inch equipment mounting. The unit includes vertical mounting rails with pre-drilled holes for secure component attachment. Constructed from durable aluminum, it provides structural integrity for housing electrical components. This rack serves as the foundational framework within larger enclosure systems, ensuring organized and stable installation of switches, relays, and other panel-mounted devices.

Feature Summary

• Heavy-duty aluminum construction for robust structural support
• Standard 19-inch width compatibility for universal equipment mounting
• Pre-drilled vertical rails facilitate rapid component installation
• Designed specifically for integration into industrial control enclosures

Applications

• Industrial control panel assembly
• Electrical distribution board framing
• Automation system equipment housing
• Telecommunications rack integration

Procurement Notes

Verify exact dimensional tolerances against specific panel requirements before procurement. Confirm that the enclosure model selected is compatible with the ARAK24 rack dimensions. Ensure mounting hardware specifications match the pre-drilled rail patterns. Check environmental ratings if the final assembly will operate in harsh conditions. Validate that the rack material meets corrosion resistance standards for the intended application site.

Selection Notes

Select this rack when a standardized 19-inch mounting solution is required within a Hoffman enclosure. Consider the 24-inch height constraint to ensure adequate space for target components. Evaluate whether additional accessories like shelves or cable management are needed alongside the base rack. Compare weight capacity requirements against the planned equipment load. Ensure the aluminum finish suits the operational environment's aesthetic or protective needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Aluminum Rack series, which provides modular mounting solutions for various enclosure sizes. These racks are engineered to work seamlessly with Hoffman's range of NEMA-rated enclosures. They offer a cost-effective alternative to custom-fabricated mounting structures. The series ensures consistent alignment and spacing for industry-standard 19-inch gear across different panel configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hoffman aluminum racks with identical 19-inch width and 24-inch height specifications. Verify hole pattern compatibility to ensure existing mounting hardware remains usable. Cross-reference with equivalent models from other manufacturers only if dimensional and material properties match exactly.
