requently Asked Questions
Many high load products are made from aluminum, because it offers a significantly lower
product weight in tandem with a stiff, strong frame. These products include airplanes,
automobiles and spacecraft. Aluminum performs very well in high weight load
applications.
One of the primary reasons users change brands is because a change in technology
renders the current cabinet obsolete. The best example of that over the past few years is
due either to the depth of the cabinet or the amount of airflow through the cabinet.
Knurr offers cabinets in standard depths of 40” and 44”, both with doors that offer 83%
open area – the highest in the industry. Couple that with the ease of working with the
Knurr cabinet and a move to Knurr is logical.
Besides the lightweight, but strong aluminum frame, Knurr offers the T Slot channel in
the frame. This T Slot, with a spring nut, allows for components to be mounted virtually
anywhere in the cabinet. The same T Slot also allows for the easy mounting of tool-less
cable management accessories.
