New pressure equalisation elements to prevent condensation

Two new versions of the M12x1.5 pressure equalisation elements are now available in the range of accessories for larger devices. The theoretical air flow rate (RQ) is 10 l/h and 24 l/h, respectively, at 0.07 bar.

They are ideal for preventing condensation build-up inside enclosures, thereby protecting sensitive electronics in otherwise hermetically sealed devices. Ideal for outdoor use and in areas with rapid temperature changes and moisture build-up. IP65 / IP66 / IP67 enclosures >>

lernWerkstatt! at OKW - A little adventure to kick off the New Year at OKW headquarters
February 2026

A little adventure to kick off the New Year at OKW headquarters

On 27 January, we were delighted to welcome the children from the lernWerkstatt! program, organised by the Joachim & Susanne Schulz Foundation (www.mint-im-odenwald.de). Our company once again transformed into a mini adventure park. A fun scavenger hunt led the curious youngsters through our departments, giving them a playful introduction to what OKW does and the steps involved in manufacturing enclosures.
The OKW team accompanied the event with great enthusiasm, sharing lively insights into our daily work. After an exciting day filled with discoveries—and even a few turtles—the children headed home with plenty of new impressions. A positive and inspiring start to our year together!
