Rugged camera housing CH50.airshield

IP69aluminumpassive cooling

Overview
CH50.airshield is a variant of the CH50 series engineered for highly polluted industrial environments. It creates a continuous air curtain over the cover glass to prevent dust deposition and preserve camera visibility where intermittent air blow solutions are insufficient.

Key features

• Derived from CH50 (original CH50 is IP69 certified; CH50.airshield is distributed as a derived product and not yet certified as a standalone unit)
• Airshield: continuous air curtain that protects the cover window in dusty/dirty environments
• Sealed, rugged aluminium enclosure
• Ø35 mm H‑K9L glass (N‑BK7 equivalent) with AR MgF₂ coating, spectral range 390–700 nm (optionally up to 900 nm)
• Designed for small industrial cameras (typical camera footprints: 27×27, 29×29, 30×30, 31×31, 40×30, 29×44 mm)
• Guiding rods for quick installation and reconfiguration
• Passive cooling via spacer system that transfers heat from the camera to the enclosure body
• Camera mounting and mounting kit included
• Customisation options: custom length, logo, cable gland and other modifications on request

Additional information
The CH50 rugged housing increases protection against mechanical damage, dirt, grease, dust, water ingress and overheating. Special seals and construction provide resistance consistent with the CH50 IP69 design; CH50.airshield inherits this design but must be ordered and approved separately if IP69 certification is required for the modified product. The spacer mount improves thermal behaviour by enabling passive heat transfer from the camera to the enclosure.

Compatibility (dimensions)
