MIL-STD-810G standard designed for shock and vibration

SR10 is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G standard for shock and vibration. MIL-STD-810G standard is considered the upmost principle, which guarantees the system achieves superior quality and stability when operate under extreme harsh environment. We have conducted the test with series of testing procedures for resistance to shock, vibration, dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures. What’s more to make the system more rugged is SR10A designed with EBX form factor and stackable ability. With those two features can provide maximum exceeding solidity when stacking together to prevent loose from vibration. With key components- CPU and SSD soldering on board to enhance the capability of shock and vibration. With optional Bumper design, the level of vibration resistance increased.

 

Wire Rope Vibration Isolator Design for Higher Vibration Resistance

STACKRACK has especially design a Wire Rope Vibration Isolator for SR10A. The Wire Rope Vibration Isolator may sustain higher vibration resistance of the product itself. 

A Wire Rope Vibration Isolator is widely apply on supporting Military equipment because it may absorb and protect the object from vibration damage in any axes simultaneously, with the protection it may extended the product life operating under long hour vibration environment and vibration shock. The isolator is long life maintenance free tool and it may unload whenever required. Besides, Wipe Rope Vibration Isolators may survive under extreme temperature, corrosion, radioactivity, extreme dry or high humidity and UV Radiation environment.

 

System main board: EBX SBC-OXY5737A

1. Intel® Core i7 CPU soldering onboard

OXY5737A is based on EBX rugged single board computer, powered by Intel Ivy Bridge i7-4700EQ quad core processor plus QM87 chipset soldered onboard. With processor soldering on board can enhance the resistance of shock and vibration to allow product operates under every possible condition. With processor solder on board would lower resistance and inductance at the connection enhance effective transmission that could guarantee better and more high frequency performance for the system.

2. Expandable by Extension mPCIe x 2 slot

SR10A carries two mPCIe Slots, one co-lay with mSATA and one may for extra expansion.

3. Wide range DC input from 9V~ 36V

For certain application such like transportation and military always challenge the risk of unstable power that might cause damage to the system. Wide range DC input becomes an indispensable element for those applications. SR10A supports Wide range 9V~ 36V DC-in to protect system from damage caused by sudden surge or peak voltage. This feature guarantees the system increasing migration path flexible and eliminates redesign of existing power architecture.

 The rugged MIL-STD compliant system, SR10A is equipped with highly effectively heat conductive and heat convective thermal solutions to meet extended temperature requirements. The heat conductive solutions uses an aluminum flat mass to place in direct contact with the processor and chipset, the heat from chips then transfers it to the case of the system via 8.0 mm copper heat pipes. In addition, the convective thermal solutions introduce airflow directed to move across the surface of a fin style heatsink placed on top of the processor and chipset. This can be done with the aid of an appropriately sized fan placed in top of the fin style heatsink. Alternately, enclosure airflow can be routed to flow across a fin style heatsink.

Effective cooling solution for maximum heat dissipation:

STACKRACK implements unique cooling solution with copper heat spreader, pure copper heat pipe and aluminum heat sink for maximum heat dissipation. With the aluminum heat sink enclosure allows dual-sided heat dissipation. We especially adopt the physical property of copper and aluminum, the copper heat spreader touches the heat source - processor and chipset and absorbs the heat rapidly, the heat then transfer to heat pipe; heat pipe is two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid, the aluminum heat sink dissipates the heat into surrounding air promptly. With the benefits of fanless design, SR10A can ensure high reliability and stability while working under wide range temperature from -40°C to 70°C

Patent Designed Aluminum Heat Sink

The heat sink is made by heat radiating material, which is aim to lowering the temperature by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. 96 % of aluminum, 21 mm height and weighs 1039 g

 

Pure Copper Heat Pipe

The heat pipes are embedded in the heat sink to ensure 100% tight integration for superior heat dissipation. Especially adopts U shape copper heat pipe to fulfill utmost thermal conductivity, copper heat pipe transfers heat from the heat sources (e.g. CPU, chipset) to the heat sink over relatively long distance. Two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid.
