On the hunt for protective housing for your hydraulic, electric or pneumatic instruments? The search is over thanks to this desktop enclosure from Hammond. Its rugged construction from 14-gauge steel means it's a great shout for shielding critical kit from impacts and abrasion. The gasket and continuously welded seams prevent harmful dust, oil and moisture from creeping inside. As the product is phosphatised and powder-coated, it's long-lasting and especially good at staving off corrosion. A slope on the enclosure door helps give you easy internal access, so it's handy for process control applications where you frequently tweak device parameters.
