Inductor box for an agricultural implement having compression limiters
An inductor box for an agricultural implement having compression limiters. One inductor box includes a housing having a first side configured to receive an agricultural product from a tank. The first side has a sealable surface, and the sealable surface has plates attached thereto. The inductor box includes a first gasket disposed on the sealable surface and configured to establish a seal between the sealable surface and a corresponding surface of the tank. The plates are configured to extend through respective openings in the gasket, and to block compression of the first gasket beyond a desired compression limit.
1. An inductor box for an agricultural implement, comprising:
a housing having a first side configured to receive an airflow from an air supply, the first side having a first sealable surface, wherein the housing comprises a first plurality of tabs extending from the first sealable surface; and
a first gasket disposed on the first sealable surface and configured to establish a first seal between the first sealable surface and a corresponding surface of a first cover plate;
wherein the first plurality of tabs is configured to abut the corresponding surface of the first cover plate to block compression of the first gasket beyond a first compression limit.
2. The inductor box of claim 1 , comprising the first cover plate coupled to the housing.
3. The inductor box of claim 2 , wherein the first gasket is disposed on the corresponding surface of the first cover plate.
4. The inductor box of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of tabs is integrally formed as part of the housing.
5. The inductor box of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises three sides formed from a single piece of metal sheet.
6. The inductor box of claim 1 , comprising a second gasket;
wherein the housing has a second side and a second plurality of tabs extending from a second sealable surface of the second side;
wherein the second gasket is disposed on the second sealable surface and configured to establish a second seal between the second sealable surface and a corresponding surface of a second cover plate; and
wherein the second plurality of tabs is configured to abut the corresponding surface of the second cover plate to block compression of the second gasket beyond a second compression limit.
7. The inductor box of claim 6 , wherein the second plurality of tabs is integrally formed as part of the housing.
8. The inductor box of claim 6 , comprising the second cover plate coupled to the housing, wherein the second gasket is disposed on the corresponding surface of the second cover plate.
