Four Hardware Categories for Liquid-Cooled Infrastructure

As rack power density climbs from 4 kW to 140 kW+, cabinet hardware becomes a reliability-critical layer — not an afterthought. WINT covers the full stack.

① IP65 Cabinet Locks

O-ring cam locks, compression locks and solenoid locks validated to IP54–IP65. 10,000+ cycle life. Keyed-alike, master-key and electronic access control options.

② Heavy-Duty Hinges

Load classes from 150 kg to 400 kg per door. Stainless steel pins, zinc-flake coating, sag <1 mm after 50,000 cycles. Designed for manifold-equipped liquid-cooled doors.

③ Sealing & Airflow

EPDM and silicone gaskets with compression-set resistance ≤25%. Blanking panels and EMI spring fingers for hot-aisle containment and electromagnetic shielding.

④ Custom Sheet Metal / CNC

CDU housings, manifold brackets, cold plate covers, busbar mounts. Laser cut, CNC machined, stamped and welded. Tolerances to ±0.1 mm.


Lock Selection Matrix

Three-step selection for data center buyers: cabinet type → IP rating → access control level.

Cabinet / ScenarioIP RatingRecommended LockKey Feature
Indoor IT / network rackIP20–IP32Tubular / cam lockStandard keyed, low cost
Liquid-cooled server rack ★IP54–IP65O-ring cam lock + rod systemHumidity seal, 10,000+ cycles
CDU / power cabinetIP54+Solenoid + mechanical overrideRemote access, alarm integration
Outdoor BESS / edgeIP55–IP65Compression lock (multi-point)480h salt spray, vibration-proof
High-density retrofitPer existingUniversal drop-in lockNo door re-machining

Selection tip: For liquid-cooled racks, verify three things — O-ring or silicone gasket at the lock-to-door interface; cycle life ≥10,000; and key hierarchy (KA / MK / GMK) matched to your fleet scale.

Hinge Load Classes for Liquid-Cooled Racks

A fully loaded liquid-cooled door can exceed 300 kg. Standard hinges rated for 60 kg will sag, break the gasket seal and create a leak path. WINT's hinge selection starts at 150 kg and scales to 400 kg for AI training clusters.

Sealing & IP Rating Solutions

The lock is the penetration point of the door envelope. In liquid-cooled racks with elevated humidity, moisture ingress through an unsealed lock cylinder can damage electronics worth more than the entire cabinet hardware budget. WINT's IP65 lock series uses multi-barrier sealing: O-ring at the bezel, silicone gasket at the cam slot, and drain channels that direct moisture away from the mechanism.

Custom Sheet Metal & CNC Components

Beyond locks and hinges, WINT supplies the structural layer that holds liquid cooling systems together: CDU housings, manifold brackets, cold plate covers and blanking panels.

Customization Process & Lead Times

Data center projects move fast. WINT's rapid prototyping room delivers custom lock samples in 7 days and non-standard hardware in 15–25 days — approximately 30% faster than industry average.

Step 1: Requirement Review

Share your cabinet drawings, IP target and access-control needs. We return a hardware proposal with model recommendations and custom options within 48 hours.

Step 2: Sample Confirmation

Custom samples ship in 7 days. Standard samples ship from existing inventory within 48 hours. First-article inspection reports included.

Step 3: Pilot Batch

MOQ as low as 100 sets for custom locks; 100 pcs for sheet-metal components. Pilot batches include dimensional reports and salt-spray certificates.

Step 4: Volume Production

Rolling forecasts accepted. Die-casting and stamping lines support 50,000+ units per month. CNC capacity scales with project timeline.
