Aluminium 19-inch rack housings designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from shock, vibration and environmental exposure.
The ZARGES Mitraset family provides rugged aluminium housings for electronic equipment installed in a standard 19-inch rack format. It is designed for applications where equipment needs protection not only during transport, but also from environmental and mechanical stresses encountered in operational use.
Mitraset Classic provides a robust established platform with an elastically suspended anti-vibration frame, IP65 protection and a broad range of heights and depths. Racklite applies the same general principle in a lower-weight construction, with ZARGES stating a weight saving of up to 15% compared with Classic.
For B&D, the two formats provide options within a common manufacturer family while allowing the design team to remain focused on the overall equipment and project requirements.
Barum & Dewar works with an extensive range of established protective case and container manufacturers, allowing us to focus on finding the right solution for your application rather than promoting a single product or material.

Choice of weight and configuration
B&D begins with the installed electronics and how the system needs to operate. Rack height and depth, payload, centre of gravity, shock sensitivity, cabling, access and transport conditions are considered before the Mitraset configuration is selected.
The chosen housing can then be integrated into the wider protective solution, with B&D providing the design input and additional internal features needed to make the system practical to transport, deploy and use.
These cases are available with a range of features and specifications, including:

B&D combines access to ZARGES rack products with the engineering knowledge needed to integrate the customer’s equipment into the finished system. We can assess Mitraset alongside DELTA, SKB, Thermodyne and bespoke rack formats, keeping the recommendation focused on the project rather than the supplier.
This approach is particularly valuable where weight, vibration isolation, environmental sealing and operator access need to be balanced within the same rack solution. These pre-certified 19-inch racks provide compliance evidence where programmes demand.
