The Gimax Switchboards

Rubber is a very polyhedric material for use in industrial environments. Its properties are many and of very high technical value: flexibility, elasticity, high dieletric rigidity, etc. For this reason, Gimax has decided to focus its production on the use of this type of material through a special mix of carefully balanced components to obtain an extremely durable finished product.

Chemical composition developed by Gimax enhances the natural elastomeric characteristics of raw materials in use to create a finished product suitable for heavy uses.

Gimax switchboards are not only resistant to oils, acids, industrial solvents and petrol, but also have an exceptional resistance to ageing.

Thanks to its elasticity, rubber is able to withstand better than any other technopolymer especially during use in harsh environments. Gimax rubber is very resistant to temperature fluctuations (-20°C + 80°C) and self-extinguishing. In fact, it has passed GLOW WIRE TEST 960°, and especially in this case Gimax rubber is required for low toxicity of fumes released into the air (theatres, cinemas, showrooms, sport facilities, metropolitan areas, etc.).

With regard to rubber enclosures, Gimax has taken care of the smallest details and these items are now synonymous with excellence: modularity, double insulation, high degree of protection up to IP65 by means of special closing seals; all technical and professional features not present in consumer products.

Gimax recently added POLYETHYLENE as new material for portable power distribution assemblies combining the lightweight technology to the sturdiness of technopolymers. This type of material is highly appreciated in those areas where easy portability is required also thanks to the possibility of being stacked.

To protect the sockets which already are on safety thanks to special insulated head screws, MCBs are always mounted under shock-proof transparent windows by means of stainless steel return springs AISI 304 equipped with sealing gaskets to guarantee a protection degree up to IP65 (IEC 529, CEI 70-1, EN 60529).

The covers are available in various sizes suitable to lodge switches from 2 to 18 DIN modules.

Power distribution assemblies are available in several models: portable and wall, on wheels and to hang.

The modularity of the structures and the small size allow these products to be used in all industry sectors according to technical specifications given from customers.

To guarantee the quality that has distinguished the company Gimax over the years, no add-ons have been left to chance.

Only products of high quality are lodged into the power distribution assemblies that Gimax supplies on domestic and international market.

Here is a brief introduction of the most useful components in use:
