Product Title

R. STAHL 8146/5062 – Ex e Control Box (Glass‑Fibre Reinforced Polyester Enclosure)

Product Overview

The R. STAHL 8146/5062 is a certified industrial control enclosure from the R. Stahl Series 8146 family, designed to house control devices, switching elements, indicators, and wiring in hazardous area applications. R. Stahl control boxes are built to meet stringent safety standards for explosive atmospheres (Ex e) and provide reliable mechanical protection for electrical and electronic components installed inside.

This control box features a glass‑fibre reinforced polyester resin construction that combines strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight, making it suitable for use in Zone 1/2 (gas) and Zone 21/22 (dust) hazardous environments. The 8146/5062 variant is a compact enclosure that can be equipped with pushbuttons, switches, indicator lamps, meters, and optional accessories such as cable glands or mounting flanges — enabling flexible configuration for system control and signal distribution tasks.
