FAQs

The SE 5857.600 is designed for seamless integration with Rittal's VX SE free-standing enclosure system and the VX25 baying environment. This enables scalable cabinet configurations, simplified grouping of multiple enclosures, and consistent mounting standards across a modular automation footprint. Ideal for machine cells and panel buildings that require future expansion with minimal rework.
The enclosure carries IP55 and NEMA 12 ratings, with IK10 impact resistance and UL 50E Type 1 compliance. IP55 protects against dust ingress and water spray, NEMA 12 suits indoor, dusty or oily environments, IK10 guards against impacts, and UL 50E Type 1 confirms suitability for electrical gear in control cabinets. Together they ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Yes, the stainless steel construction (AISI 304, 1.4301) provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for more demanding environments where humidity, cleaning chemicals, or salt exposure are concerns. While IP55 offers basic weather protection, additional weather sealing or enclosure treatments may be considered for direct outdoor exposure.
The enclosure includes a detachable rear panel, mounting plate, gland plates, and punched rails for interior mounting. Note the recommendation to use metal multi-tooth screws (2486.400) due to material hardness, which helps ensure secure fastening and long-term integrity of internal components.
Long-term benefits come from corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance downtime, and faster installation thanks to turnkey components and VX SE compatibility. While upfront costs are higher than basic enclosures, lifetime operating costs drop due to fewer replacements, easier cleaning, and predictable regulatory compliance across industrial automation projects.
