Weatherproof, corrosion-resistant, durable: EMKA develops secure locking solutions for e-charging stations
And inside? Highly sensitive technology that must be permanently protected. A task that largely depends on the right locking technology.
This is exactly where EMKA comes into play: the world market leader for locks, hinges and gaskets develops robust, durable and flexible solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of modern charging infrastructures.
EMKA ensures that the technology inside functions reliably and remains accessible at all times - regardless of whether it is a question of protection from the weather, safety or design requirements.
Protection from the weather and external influences
The requirements for charging stations are varied: they are constantly exposed to changing weather conditions. Rain, heat, snow or frost - all of these can damage the installed technology. EMKA offers various swinghandles depending on the required safety level.
The selection ranges from simple plastic versions to particularly resistant variants made of die-cast zinc or stainless steel that meet the criteria of Resistance Class 2 (RC2) in accordance with DIN EN 1630.
EMKA meets these challenges with sophisticated closure solutions:
- Weather resistance: EMKA also offers components that are designed for permanent outdoor use. Special sealing systems prevent the ingress of water, dirt or dust, even in extreme weather conditions.
- Corrosion protection: Stainless steel components, coated metal parts and high-quality plastics ensure a long service life, even in high humidity or salty ambient air.
- Vandalism protection resistance class 2 in accordance with DIN EN 1630: Reinforced housing designs and concealed locking solutions effectively prevent unauthorized access.
Easy handling: The ease of assembly and maintenance of EMKA systems simplifies operation and reduces on-site service times. One example of this is the double cylinder swinghandle 1317-U221. Thanks to two separate cylinders, power suppliers and charging station operators can carry out service work independently of each other.
The modular locking solutions make it easy to adapt to large and small charging stations and to change different locking sets to meet the requirements of different security classes or cylinder specifications.Design-oriented charging stations: Slim, unobtrusive locking systems can also be inserted as part of design-driven charging stations.
Individually customizable - insert part worldwide
Charging stations differ not only in their design, but also in their technical and local requirements. EMKA offers a wide range of suitable locking solutions - from robust standard components to individually configured special components. EMKA's modular systems can be flexibly adapted and are therefore suitable for almost any application scenario: Whether public charging stations in urban areas, fast charging stations at highway service areas or private wallboxes.
Thanks to its own production facilities in Europe and Asia and an international sales network, EMKA is able to realize customer projects worldwide. The result is durable, maintenance-friendly and safe components that meet the growing demands of electromobility.
