DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDED ENCLOSURE
Abstract:
A door assembly for an electromagnetic shielded enclosure includes a metal door frame for defining a passageway into the enclosure and a door for selectively enclosing the passageway. The door includes a door leaf pivotally coupled to the frame. A set of radio frequency (RF) seals is connected to the exposed peripheral edge of a conductive plate in the door leaf. Each RF seal includes a resilient movable finger which overlies a U-shaped bracket mounted along the outer edge of the door leaf. A plurality of air cylinders is mounted within each bracket and is designed to urge the resilient finger of each RF seal into contact with the door frame. By integrating the RF seal and its related mechanical components into the door, the passageway into the enclosure is rendered less obtrusive. Additionally, the use of multiple air cylinders to actuate each RF seal creates operational redundancy.
