Quick Summary

The AX 5051.424 sealing frame secures gland plates in compact enclosures, delivering reliable ingress protection. Without a proper frame, sealing gaps foster dust ingress, moisture exposure, and added maintenance costs. In practice, CE marking and IP-level protection are commonly required for enclosure accessories, with SIL verification relevant for safety-critical lines. Using the AX 5051.424 reduces installation time and ensures a durable seal across standard gland plates, supporting efficient panel builds and compliant installations. This makes assembly predictable, scalable, and easier to source for large automation projects. Engineers benefit from clear part numbers, fast procurement, and consistent sealing performance across regional builds.

The AX 5051.424 sealing frame delivers a robust gasket seal designed to fit gland plates in a 401 mm by 221 mm footprint, ensuring reliable ingress protection across demanding industrial environments. Its precise molding and mounting interface maintain consistent compression, reducing gasket creep during temperature cycling and vibration. The result is predictable sealing performance in dust-prone factories and humid environments, enabling safer, longer-lasting panel assemblies and fewer field adjustments during commissioning. By matching standard gland plate configurations, the frame accelerates installation and minimizes misalignment risks, cutting installation time and rework. For panel shops and system integrators, the four-piece pack offers convenient kitting, better inventory control, and easier procurement across multiple projects. This translates to shorter project timelines, lower labor costs, and improved consistency when scaling from single panels to multi-rack enclosures. The AX 5051.424’s compatible dimensions support leak-free operation within Rittal enclosure families, including control panels, distribution boards, and compact switchgear. Because the frame aligns with width 401 mm and depth 221 mm, engineers can reuse proven gland plate configurations across programs, reducing design diversity and simplifying spare parts management. This consistency is particularly valuable in automation lines where uptime and repeatability are critical. Installation and compatibility advantages extend to service teams, who benefit from clear part numbers (AX 5051.424) and traceable packaging (packs of four). The gasket frame also pairs well with common gland plate materials, enabling straightforward retrofits and upgrades without enclosure modifications. These traits support regulatory readiness and easier supplier audits by providing consistent, documented assembly steps. In practice, accessories like this sealing frame reduce total cost of ownership by minimizing ingress-related wear, reducing leakage risk, and shortening downtime during maintenance. For manufacturers building automation panels, the AX 5051.424 offers a reliable, scalable solution that aligns with standard components, improves field install efficiency, and contributes to predictable, repeatable electrical enclosure performance across sites.

FAQs

AX 5051.424 is designed to fit gland plates for enclosure widths of 401 mm and depths of 221 mm. Installation involves aligning the frame with the gland plate opening, securing it with suitable fasteners, and verifying gasket seating to prevent gaps. Ensure compatible enclosure body dimensions before mounting.
By providing a precise, gasket-aligned frame around the gland plate opening, the AX 5051.424 minimizes ingress paths for dust and moisture. This consistent seal supports higher integrity IP protection and reduces maintenance related to seal wear, especially in dusty or humid industrial environments.
Yes, the frame is designed to work with standard gland plate configurations. It is supplied in packs of four pieces, enabling economical stocking and streamlined replacement across multiple panels, which speeds up project timelines and reduces on-site inventory.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. When sourcing, confirm CE marking, IP protection level, and any SIL verification requirements with the manufacturer or supplier documentation to ensure compliance for your region and application.
The AX 5051.424 frame reduces installation time, protects against ingress, and extends gasket life by maintaining a consistent seal. In panel shops and production lines, these factors translate to lower commissioning costs, fewer field adjustments, and improved uptime over the enclosure’s service life.
