DESAPRO MILEX rackmount cases are renowned for their small size, light weight, high-quality construction, durability, and the exceptional protection they offer to sensitive equipment during transportation, operation or storage. These cases are designed to withstand the most challenging conditions, ensuring the safe and secure transport of valuable items. In this comprehensive analysis, we will explore the features, applications, benefits, and technical specifications of DESAPRO MILEX transit cases, providing an in-depth understanding of why they are the preferred choice for the defense industry.
THE MILEX FAMILY OF RACKMOUNT CASES
MILEX SHOCKMOUNT
The MILEX rackmount Cases are intended for use in extreme conditions. The electronics are attached to a shock mounted chassis, not directly to the shell. A minimum of 8 shock and vibration absorbers serve to deflect any mechanical stress on the housing. After attachment of the chassis the case is securely sealed with a cover to protect the contents against dust, sand and water.
MILEX Hard Mount
The MILEX Hard mounted Rackmount Case is a standard Case without a shock mounted chassis. It is intended for applications where vibration protection is not critical. All other protective features and outer dimensions are equivalent to the Shock mounted case.
MILEX WIREROPE
The MILEX WR transit case is a 19’’ Transit case with the chassis mounted on stainless steel spiral with wire rope shock absorbers. These types of shock absorbers are used where sensitive electronics have to be protected from vibration and particularly against severe shock. The wire rope shock absorbers ensure the proper abatement not provided by the shock absorbers in the shock mounted transit cases. Typical applications would be for protection on ship, submarines, helicopters or other aircrafts.
MILEX SPECIAL
There are many special rackmount cases available such as small and light airline on-board cases, MILEXPro with a removable chassis, ½ 19 inch cases, or special sizes such ad double cases, etc.
MILEX Dolly for Aluminum 19-Inch Rackmount Case
The durable and lightweight dolly is designed to support and transport any size of aluminum rackmount cases with ease.
It is built of a sturdy Aluminum frame, heavy-duty, but smooth-rolling casters (lockable wheels for stability during stationary) and
secure mounting points to keep the rackmount case steady during movement.
Main components of the
DESAPRO MILEX aluminum transit case
The below illustrations details the key component that make up the MILEX Case
Self-supporting housing
A welded and rigid construction forms a self-supporting shell that is both light and rugged. The entire aluminum construction is shock proof and resistant to extreme temperature change, conductive and fully recyclable. Stacking feet on the bottom and indentations on the top of the housing provide stable stacking of the cases. The standard equipped cases include a pressure equalization valve. Case connections and securing the cases to any bolting pattern are available for specific applications.
Shock mounted chassis
The core of the case is a shock mounted chassis. Depending on the model and size, equipment can be fitted either from the front or the rear of the case. In order to keep the weight down and allow for optimal ventilation, the chassis are designed with large holes. The chassis is connected to the housing shell by an electrical ground strap.
Cover
All MILEX cases are protected against outside influences through a bolted cover with gasket. Easily operated closures are recessed in the housing cover and ensure a solid seal. The cover space can be used for I/O panel, windows, cable pouches, ventilation louvres etc.
