Chassis and Backplanes

The Foundation of Industrial Reliability

In the world of industrial automation, transportation, and mission-critical applications, the physical enclosure and internal architecture of a computer system are just as vital as the processor itself. Westward Sales understands that true industrial reliability begins with a solid foundation. Our selection of industrial chassis and backplanes, primarily featuring high-performance solutions from Axiomtek, are engineered to provide the rugged protection, exceptional thermal management, and essential modularity required for continuous operation in the harshest environments.

Industrial Chassis: Secure Your System

Our industrial chassis are more than just metal boxes—they are precision-engineered enclosures designed to shield sensitive electronics from dust, vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. These units ensure your critical hardware remains operational, minimizing downtime and maximizing system longevity in environments ranging from factory floors and control rooms to remote outdoor sites.

 

We offer a versatile range of rackmount formats to meet any space requirement:

  • 1U Rackmount Chassis: Ideal for high-density applications and space-constrained areas, these low-profile chassis, such as the Axiomtek AX61135TM, are expandable and perfect for slim-line servers or network appliances. They support standard motherboard formats like ATX and feature provisions for internal storage devices, balancing power and footprint.
     
  • 2U Rackmount Chassis: Providing an excellent balance of space and density, 2U chassis, like the Axiomtek AX61223TM, offer enhanced cooling, accommodate larger expansion cards, and support ATX or Micro ATX motherboards. Features like front-accessible drive bays ensure easy maintenance and upgrades without disrupting the rack.
     
  • 4U Rackmount Chassis: The powerhouse of our lineup, the 4U chassis, including the highly configurable Axiomtek AX61410, is designed for maximum expansion. It supports a full-size Single-Board Computer (SBC) and backplane combination or traditional ATX/Micro-ATX motherboards. With features like lockable doors and ample space for up to 7 or 14 expansion slots, these units are the backbone for high-performance computing, video surveillance, and complex control systems.

Every chassis is constructed with durability in mind, supporting superior ventilation and filtration to maintain optimal operating conditions for internal components, even when ambient temperatures spike.

Modular Backplanes: Enabling System Expansion

A chassis requires a sophisticated internal bus to maximize its potential. This is where the backplane comes in. Our industrial backplanes serve as the passive or active board that connects a Single-Board Computer (SBC) with multiple peripheral cards. This essential component dictates the system’s modularity and expansion capabilities. By utilizing a high-quality backplane, you can create a truly custom system, selecting the precise number and type of slots you need -including PCIe, PCI, and ISA - to connect specialized I/O, frame grabbers, communication modules, or high-performance GPU cards. This modular approach protects your investment, allowing you to easily upgrade or swap out individual components without replacing the entire system. Whether you need a simple two-slot setup or a robust 14-slot architecture, our backplanes deliver the stable, high-speed connection necessary for reliable data throughput in real-time applications.
