Quick Summary

Rittal VX 5502.501 Base Mount for TS/TX frames provides a robust mounting solution for gland plate modules in 800 mm-deep enclosures. Engineers often struggle with misalignment and compatibility when retrofitting base rails across TS8, TS IT, and TX frames; this design simplifies installation with a ready rail system and included assembly parts. In practice, compliance considerations matter; look for CE conformity and suitable IP ratings, plus SIL requirements for safety-critical configurations. The base mount supports VX gland plate modules with reliable alignment and durability, while offering efficient procurement through a two-pack of rails. This translates to reduced commissioning time and lower total cost of ownership.

Product description
Base mount for TS/TX, depth 800 mm, for gland plate module VX
The VX 5502.501 base mount is constructed from sheet steel and finished with a spray-coated surface to deliver a durable, corrosion-resistant solution suitable for challenging control cabinet environments. The spray finish in RAL 7035 ensures a consistent, professional appearance across TS and TX enclosures, supporting easier maintenance and standardized aesthetics in the field. This robust construction translates into longer service life, reduced maintenance cycles, and more predictable performance in high-vibration or temperature-variable installations common in industrial automation. Depth compatibility is a core design attribute; at 800 mm, the base mount aligns precisely with gland plate VX modules and standard TS 8, TS IT, and TX frames. Engineers benefit from a straightforward installation process with one rail system that minimizes misalignment and the need for custom shims or adapters. The result is faster panel assembly, improved repeatability, and fewer on-site adjustments during commissioning. Each package includes two mounting rails plus assembly parts, enabling immediate integration into the frame without hunting for compatible hardware. The two-piece pack reduces packaging waste and procurement complexity, supporting lean manufacturing and just-in-time installation. In practice, this setup shortens project timelines while lowering total cost of ownership by reducing installation labor and inventory variety. From a compliance perspective, the component design aligns with common industry expectations for enclosure accessories, helping teams meet internal standards and supplier QA checks. Its compatibility with VX gland plate modules supports scalable configurations across TS 8 and TX families, reducing future rework when specifications shift. For procurement and ROI, the base mount's durable material, readily available rails, and two-pack packaging translate into lower risk, faster deployment, and better lifecycle cost management.
