Invest 7 Minutes Now & Become an Expert in Environmental Protection for Electromechanical Controls
From soft elastomeric to hard (fully armored) stainless-steel enclosed sealing boots -- the subject of how to best protect and prolong switch, circuit breaker, potentiometer/encoder life is explored against a backdrop of harsh environmental conditions; both indoors and outdoors. Just as NEMA metal and plastic enclosures are used extensively to protect controls against harsh environments, these UL Recognized sealing boots are similarly used to protect individual controls on exposed panels, and can also be mounted on the outside of these very same NEMA enclosures. EMI/RFI suppression is another topic that this video delves into. (See EMI/RFI data sheet details below).

Newly updated brochure presents several Fast-TrackingSM procedures that help the OEM designer/buyer obtain faster quotes with less expensive sealing solutions that use heat transfer/injection molding techniques. The brochure also presents a number of varied dynamic sealing applications for electrical and electronics equipment that APM specializes in.

UL Recognized Self-Sealing Washers for
NEMA 4&6 Enclosures
 SEELOC® self sealing washers, with an IP66/68 rating, are proving to be very popular in a wide variety of electrical controls applications; especially in wet & dirty conditions. SEELOCs are used in NEMA enclosures, on various controls, and lab-testing cabinets — including biological, industrial processing, mining equipment, off-shore drilling sites, cell towers, military and communications equipment, etc. In addition, there are numerous commercial and industrial non-electrical applications that benefit from SEELOC’s high-pressure resistance ability to seal out or contain liquids and gas contaminates to 100psi. SEELOC stainless steel washers go where others fear to tread; washdowns in food processing plants and medical OR are typical challenging applications.

Can Switch & Circuit Breaker Sealing Boots Be Part of the RFI/EMI Suppression Solution?
 Very definitely; right up to 120dB. APM environmental sealing boots for switch and circuit breaker protection can be part of the solution when specified with a built-in EMI/RFI suppression component. They will stop spurious signals from either entering or radiating from the equipment control mounting holes.

APM has Safe Sealing Answers.
Using liquid sealants or adhesives? Convert to self-sealing fasteners (with optional locking) and washers. Eliminate worker chemical hazards and environmental disposal problems. The APM self sealing method is 100% mechanical with simple one-step installation. Field service friendly — fasteners can be easily removed (unlike chemical methods) without special tools or procedures and then re-used.
