NSN 7125-01-680-6385 Shock Rack Support Rails

Horizontal Equipment Support for 20-Inch Shock Racks

Rack-mounted components are commonly secured at their front mounting flanges, but deeper or heavier equipment may also require support toward the rear of the chassis. The 3SKB-SR20 pair provides horizontal support within an eligible 20-inch-deep shock rack configuration, helping the completed installation manage equipment weight during handling, transport, and deployment.

Support requirements should be determined from the equipment manufacturer's mounting instructions. Component weight, chassis depth, center of gravity, rear-mounting provisions, rack-unit position, adjacent equipment, ventilation, cable routing, connector access, and service clearances can all affect the appropriate rail placement and installation method.

Support rails do not increase a shock rack's published payload range by themselves. The total installed payload should include electronics, shelves, drawers, panels, power components, cabling, mounting hardware, and accessories carried by the suspended frame. Any heavy-load configuration, shock-isolator change, or load-spreader requirement should be specified separately.

Before deployment, verify that the equipment is fully supported, fasteners are properly secured, ventilation remains open, cables have adequate service loops, and the suspended rack frame retains the clearances needed to move without contacting the outer case.

Shock Rack Configuration and Equipment Integration

Cases2Go supplies SKB shock racks, support rails, rack mounting hardware, load-range options, load spreaders, casters, and related accessories. Cases2Go also provides equipment integration services for systems requiring installed electronics, shelves, connection panels, power distribution, cable management, labeling, or other application-specific components.

Provide the exact rack model, equipment list, component dimensions and weights, rack-unit layout, center-of-gravity information, front and rear mounting provisions, required support points, cable and ventilation needs, transport environment, applicable drawings, and required shock or vibration criteria. Cases2Go can help confirm whether the 3SKB-SR20 support rails are appropriate for the proposed rack system.
