CBU500

Overview

The CBU500 is a heavy-duty carrier bar manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for mounting heavy components such as transformers within industrial enclosures. Constructed from mild steel with a zinc-plated finish, the component measures 49x495x31mm. It features slotted holes and is supplied with T-shaped sliding bolts to facilitate secure installation. The unit supports a maximum loading capacity of 3000 N and is intended for use with 500 mm wide by 500 mm deep floor-standing enclosures.

Feature Summary

• Heavy-duty construction made from mild steel with a protective zinc-plated finish
• Engineered to support high-load components including transformers
• Equipped with slotted holes and included T-shaped sliding bolts for flexible mounting

Applications

• Mounting heavy electrical components in industrial floor-standing enclosures
• Supporting transformer installations within 500 mm x 500 mm enclosure footprints
• Providing structural reinforcement for heavy equipment in control cabinets

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required enclosure dimensions match the 500 mm width and 500 mm depth specification before procurement. Confirm that the 3000 N load rating meets the weight requirements of the intended components. Ensure compatibility with the included T-shaped sliding bolts for proper installation. Check for any specific environmental coating requirements beyond the standard zinc plating if operating in corrosive conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when standard carrier bars are insufficient for the weight of installed equipment. The 3000 N capacity distinguishes it from lighter duty alternatives. Consider the 495 mm length relative to the internal width of the target enclosure. Verify that the mild steel material and zinc plating are suitable for the operational environment without requiring additional corrosion protection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CBU series of heavy-duty carrier bars from Hoffman Enclosures. These accessories are specifically engineered to reinforce the internal structure of large floor-standing enclosures. The series provides standardized mounting solutions for distributing heavy loads across the enclosure base, ensuring stability for critical industrial hardware.
