IP Ratings for Exlar Actuators
The standard IP rating for Exlar actuators is IP54S or IP65S. Ingress protection is divided into two categories: solids and liquids. For example, with IP65 the three digits following IP represent different forms of environmental influence.
- The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects.
- The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids.
- The suffix digit represents conditions of motion during the test.
Digit 1 - Ingress of Solid Objects
The IP rating system provides for 6 levels of protection against solids.
|
1 |
Protected against solid objects over 50mm e.g. hands, large tools. |
|
2 |
Protected against solid objects over 12.5mm e.g. hands, large tools. |
|
3 |
Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm e.g. wire, small tools. |
|
4 |
Protected against solid objects over 1.0mm e.g. wires. |
|
5 |
Limited protection against dust ingress (no harmful deposit). |
|
6 |
Totally protected against dust ingress. |
Digit 2 - Ingress of Liquids
The IP rating system provides for 9 levels of protection against liquids.
|
1 |
Protected against vertically falling drops of water or condensation. |
|
2 |
Protected against falling drops of water, if the case is disposed up to 15 from vertical. |
|
3 |
Protected against sprays of water from any direction, even if the case is disposed up to 60 from vertical. |
|
4 |
Protected against splash water from any direction. |
|
5 |
Protected against low pressure water jets from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. |
|
6 |
Protected against high pressure water jets from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. |
|
7 |
Protected against short periods of immersion in water of 1m or less for 30 minutes or less. |
|
8 |
Protected against long, durable periods of immersion in water. |
|
9 |
High-presure, high-temperature wash-down applications. |
Suffix
|
S |
Device standing still during test |
|
M |
Device moving during test |
