In OpenVPX and other high insertion force systems, the extreme board force can cause many standard horizontal rails, which provide the frame of the enclosure, to bend or crack. The new Pixus rails feature a thicker contact point and hardened design to protect against the extreme forces.

Designed for modularity, the Rittal™ brand horizontal rails offered by Pixus meet IEC 60 297-3 and IEEE 1101.10 specifications. The rails have a .1 HP (horizontal pitch) hole pattern to allow the precise installation of guide rails in various increments. The rails are standardly 84 HP without machining on the end faces, and Pixus offers them cut in any length.

Combined with Pixus’ rugged OpenVPX IEEE handles, the company offers a full ruggedized injection/ejection solution for high insertion force systems. The IEEE handle features a metal insertion claw that does not wear down or break over time.

Pixus offers rails in front horizontal, extended, rear, Z-rail, and specialty types. The company also offers components and full enclosure systems and backplanes for OpenVPX and other VITA/PICMG architectures.
