Hey there! As an aluminum housing supplier, I often get asked about the common sizes of aluminum housing. Well, let me break it down for you.
General Overview of Aluminum Housing Sizes
Aluminum housing comes in a wide range of sizes, and the common ones are influenced by various factors like the application, the equipment it's meant to house, and industry standards.
For smaller - scale applications, we have some really compact sizes. For instance, in the electronics field, especially for small sensors or some portable devices, the aluminum housing can be as small as a few centimeters in length, width, and height. These mini - sized housings are typically around 20mm - 50mm in length, 15mm - 40mm in width, and 10mm - 30mm in height. They are designed to be lightweight and take up minimal space while still providing sufficient protection for the delicate electronic components inside.
On the other hand, when it comes to larger industrial applications, the sizes can be significantly bigger. For industrial machinery, the aluminum housing might have a length of several hundred millimeters, say 300mm - 1000mm, a width of 200mm - 800mm, and a height of 150mm - 600mm. These large housings are built to enclose heavy - duty equipment, motors, and other large components.
Sizes for Specific Types of Aluminum Housing
Aluminum Motor Housing
Aluminum Motor Housing is one of our popular products, and its size is mainly determined by the power and type of the motor it's going to house.
For small - power motors, like those used in some household appliances or small - scale automation equipment, the motor housing usually has a diameter of around 50mm - 150mm and a length of 80mm - 250mm. These smaller motors don't require a large housing, and a compact one is sufficient to protect the motor and dissipate heat.
For medium - power motors, which are often used in industrial fans, pumps, and some light - duty machinery, the diameter of the aluminum motor housing can range from 150mm - 300mm, and the length can be between 200mm - 500mm. The larger size is needed to accommodate the larger motor components and to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
High - power motors, such as those used in large industrial machinery, conveyors, and heavy - duty equipment, need much larger motor housings. The diameter can be over 300mm, sometimes reaching up to 600mm or more, and the length can be 500mm - 1000mm or even longer. These large housings are designed to handle the high - power operation of the motors and to provide a stable and protective environment.
Extruded Aluminum Housing
Extruded Aluminum Housing is known for its flexibility in size and shape. It can be customized to meet different requirements.
In terms of common sizes for general applications, the cross - sectional dimensions of extruded aluminum housing can vary widely. For example, for simple profiles used in some frame structures or small enclosures, the width of the cross - section can be 10mm - 50mm, and the height can be 5mm - 30mm. These small - size extruded profiles are often used for making lightweight frames or for protecting small cables and wires.
For larger extruded aluminum housings used in industrial enclosures or architectural applications, the cross - sectional width can range from 50mm - 200mm, and the height can be 30mm - 150mm. The length of the extruded housing can be cut according to the specific needs, and it can be as short as a few centimeters or as long as several meters.
Led Aluminum Housing
Led Aluminum Housing is another important product in our portfolio. The size of LED aluminum housing is closely related to the size and power of the LED lights.
For small - power LED strip lights, the housing is usually very thin and narrow. The width can be around 5mm - 20mm, and the height can be 3mm - 10mm. These small - sized housings are designed to be installed in tight spaces, such as under cabinets or in small display cases.
For medium - power LED panel lights or floodlights, the aluminum housing can have a width of 50mm - 200mm, a length of 100mm - 500mm, and a height of 10mm - 50mm. These housings provide better heat dissipation and protection for the LED components, ensuring the long - term stability of the lights.
High - power LED street lights or large - scale stage lights require larger aluminum housings. The width can be over 200mm, the length can be 500mm - 1000mm or more, and the height can be 50mm - 200mm. These large - size housings are necessary to handle the high heat generated by the high - power LEDs and to provide a strong and durable structure.
Custom Sizes
In addition to the common sizes, we also offer custom - made aluminum housing. Many customers have unique requirements for the size, shape, and functionality of the aluminum housing. We have a professional R & D team and advanced production equipment, which allows us to produce aluminum housing according to the specific drawings and specifications provided by the customers. Whether it's a very small - size housing with special features or a large - scale housing with complex shapes, we can meet your needs.
