SCHRACK Frames for switches and sockets
Schrack Frames for Switches and Sockets range and sizes
Frame families cover 55/60/71 mm grids in one- to five-gang layouts, horizontal or vertical. Profiles seat shallow or deep mechanisms without pinching wiring; tolerances keep bezel gaps uniform even on imperfect plaster. IP20 is standard; IP44 is achieved with gasketted carriers and matched seals around the mechanism window. Typical service life is ≥80 k actuations for the paired switch mechanisms, so frames need to live through multiple re-laminations and repainting cycles.
Schrack Modular Frames grids and gangs
Support frames align on 71 mm centres for multi-gang runs; spacers and leveling shims correct up to ~3 mm wall deviation. Use claw or screw fixing depending on box type; multi-gang carriers preserve creepage between mains and SELV when you mix power and data in a single line. Corner radii and snap tongues are designed to survive repeated front-plate swaps during churn.
Schrack Decorative Frames finishes and hygiene options
White, graphite, and metallic finishes dominate office work; antibacterial coatings suit healthcare and education; stainless accents hold up in lobbies. Textures range from matte (fingerprint-resistant) to satin. In public corridors, select impact-tolerant blends and specify vandal-resistant screws for the front ring. Where cleaning chemicals are strong, choose solvent-resistant polymers and avoid incompatible polishes that haze clear trims.
Schrack materials, ratings, and standards for commercial interiors
Plastics meet glow-wire 650–850 °C by family; UV stability prevents yellowing. Frame/plate IK performance is declared per EN 62262; ingress per EN 60529 when used with sealed carriers. Mechanisms behind the frames follow EN 60669 (switches) and EN 60884 (socket-outlets). Back-box depth guidance: 40 mm for basic rockers, ≥50 mm for dimmers and USB power to keep temperature rise in limits.
Schrack Suspension lights, dimmers, devices coordination
Keep 16 AX rockers for LED inrush; pair trailing-edge dimmers with driver-based luminaires where flicker limits are strict. Plan datum heights (e.g., 300 mm above finished floor for sockets, 1 050–1 100 mm for switches); frames across a wall line must share one grid family to avoid misaligned reveals. On mixed power/data frames, use the manufacturer’s divider inserts so EMC and SELV separation pass inspection.
Schrack Wall Frame Systems mounting and IP options
Plaster, brick, and drylining substrates are all supported: screw-in boxes for masonry, adjustable claws for gypsum. IP44 kits include rear foam seals, front O-rings, and matched bezels; specify them near sinks, service counters, and wash-adjacent corridors. For glass partitions, use adhesive carriers with concealed cable entries and a metal backer to keep rigidity.
Applications and room templates with Schrack
- Offices: two-way at entries with two- to four-gang rows; power+data in dual frames at desk height.
- Hotels: card-holder master at door, bedside two-gang with USB-C; bathroom IP44.
- Education/healthcare: antibacterial finishes, pictogram tiles, tamper-resistant hardware.
When schedules call out refreshes, list schrack cover plates as a separate line so FM can renew faces without touching wiring.
B2B selection and scheduling with Schrack
Lock a single grid per project; mixing grids multiplies spares. Define finish per zone and freeze it early—colour drift across floors is what occupants notice first. For long corridors, run a repeatable gang logic (e.g., light, blinds, service) and document symbol tiles. Keep emergency circuits in red or engraved sets for audit clarity.
Procurement and kitting for rollouts with Schrack part codes
Per-room kits should include carriers, front plates, frames, spacers, divider inserts, and screws—bagged by room tag so installers don’t hunt SKUs. Add a service pack per 20 rooms with spare bezels and rockers. List compatible blanks, keystone plates, USB modules, and label tiles under schrack switch socket accessories to avoid substitute parts that break the look.
Installation and commissioning practices with Schrack hardware
Torque terminals on mechanisms to the printed value, test loop impedance and RCD trip times, then verify dimmer low-level stability with the actual luminaires. Level frames before final tighten; micro-adjust with shims rather than over-torquing claws. For glass or stone, pre-fit schrack installation frames to the substrate vendor’s reinforcement panels to prevent cracking around apertures.
Integration with enclosures and structured cabling
Keystone plates match common RJ45 footprints; brush inserts manage HDMI/AV. Frames align visually with rack faceplates in meeting rooms, keeping the brand language consistent from wall to cabinet. When structured cabling is dense, stagger data and power frames to tame conduit congestion while preserving the same visual rhythm.
Advantages of working with Bankoflamps
We tie pricing to your room schedules and show live EU stock before you book fit-out crews. Quotes typically land in about an hour. Orders by EAN/MPN prevent variant drift; your portal shows lead times, shipment status, and downloadable price lists. Trusted clients can use post-payment up to 30 days. We consolidate partials to trim freight and hold price-validity windows so phased floors stay predictable. Your account manager cross-checks grid family, finish codes, IP options, divider inserts, and keystone compatibility—so cartons arrive site-ready.
