ABB EF8050 Cable Entry Flanges - Sliding Flange IP40

Sliding flange design reduces installation complexity, delivering a faster commissioning cycle and fewer field errors. This translates to shorter project timelines and lower labor costs on automation cabinet builds. The configuration is ideal for AM2 cabinets and IS2 enclosures where cable routes must stay protected while access remains straightforward for maintenance. Galvanized steel construction provides durable protection in factory environments, minimizing corrosion-related maintenance and extending service life. The kit comes as a pre-assembled package, removing guesswork from field assembly and ensuring consistent gland alignment. Four IP40-rated cable entry flanges simplify multi-cable routing, supporting neat harnesses and EMI performance. Compatibility and installation advantages are strengthened by explicit references to AM2 and IS2 families, plus reference widths of 800 mm and 1600 mm and depths up to 725 mm. This flexibility reduces the need for bespoke enclosures, enabling scalable automation projects. The included mounting kit supports both standard installation and pre-assembled configurations, cutting on-site time. Regulatory and standards alignment is reinforced by CE Declaration, RoHS and REACH information in the product data, helping procurement verify compliance across supply chains. The IS2 Enclosures Technical Catalogue 2024 underpins compatible accessory selection and spare-part planning. Practically, this means consistent documentation, faster audits, and reduced risk during expansion or refurbishment. From a performance standpoint, the EF8050 improves cable management by separating power, control, and fieldbus cabling through dedicated entry flanges, minimizing cross-talk and simplifying maintenance. For integrators, the update path is straightforward thanks to pre-assembly, a compact footprint (120 mm net width, 28 mm net height), and a weight around 3.430 kg.
