New Case Study

Skydyne production floor with tan MIL-SPEC CARC rackmount cases and lids staged on assembly lines

Skydyne has begun a new production run of custom rackmount cases, highlighting our specialized manufacturing capabilities for defense-sector equipment. These units demonstrate how our Defender Series aluminum construction can be tailored to meet specific environmental and mechanical requirements.

Technical specifications

The current project features cases finished in a Tan MIL-SPEC CARC coating, designed for chemical resistance and durability in field operations. Each unit is built to house either a 5U or 9U internal rack, providing a modular approach for different equipment sizes.

Key hardware integrated into this build includes:

  • Shock protection: Racks mounted on isolators to mitigate vibration.
  • Operational hardware: Auto-tension latches, spring-loaded handles, and recessed casters for easier transit.
  • Field utility: Automatic pressure relief valves for altitude changes and pin-locking feet for secure stacking.
  • Organization: Integrated lid hangers to manage components during deployment.

Versatile construction options

Skydyne 9U aluminum Defender rackmount case

While these specific cases utilize our aluminum construction, Skydyne offers a variety of materials to suit different weight and protection needs. Our standard rackmount case constructions include:

  • Metals: High-strength aluminum.
  • Composites: Laminated/sandwich panels.
  • Plastics: Fiber- or carbon-fiber-reinforced materials.

Our internal server racks are manufactured in-house using extruded, machined, welded, and iridited aluminum. We offer flexible mounting configurations, including fixed, isolated, or fully removable racks, depending on the end-user’s accessibility requirements.
