Quick Summary

Rittal CP 6212.680 CP Intermediate hinge enables vertically hinged connections for horizontal support sections in switchgear enclosures. Engineers often face alignment challenges and limited access during installation or maintenance, which can slow projects and increase downtime. The design employs a cast steel intermediate hinge with a plastic concertina section to deliver robust rotation with approximately 180° swivel, while color-coded components aid quick identification. While the data provided doesn’t list CE or IP ratings explicitly, the hinge is designed for integration within standard Rittal enclosure systems and supports compliant assembly practices. In terms of lifecycle value, it reduces rework, enables straightforward adjustment, and pairs with included seals and fasteners for reliable service in the field.

Product description
CP Intermediate hinge CP 120, without height offset
Feature: 180° swivel rotation enables full access to the interior of the enclosure during installation and maintenance. Business impact: reduces service downtime and speeds commissioning, delivering measurable efficiency gains on multi-door cabinets. Application: ideal for vertical hinge assemblies connecting horizontal support sections in a Rittal support arm system. Feature: Cast steel intermediate hinge with a plastic concertina section provides durable movement while keeping weight manageable. Business impact: improves longevity in industrial environments and simplifies wear management, lowering lifecycle costs. Application: suited for rugged factory floors and high-cycle applications where repeated opening is common. Feature: Supplied as a complete kit including concertina section, slotted discs, rotation-limiting screws, adjusting screws, self-tapping screws for attachment, and seals. Business impact: streamlines installation and reduces BOM complexity, lowering labor and procurement overhead. Application: ideal for quick on-site deployment with consistent results. Feature: Distinctive color coding (RAL 7035 for the hinge, RAL 7024 for the concertina) enhances part visibility and prevents misassembly. Business impact: minimizes installation errors and accelerates field repairs. Application: valuable in high-turnover maintenance environments. Feature: PCF 15.2 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) indicates a cradle-to-gate environmental footprint. Business impact: supports sustainability goals and regulatory reporting. Application: appropriate for life-cycle analyses and eco-conscious procurement. Feature: Rotation/tilting capability aligns with standard enclosure design, and the 1-pack-per-assembly configuration simplifies stocking. Business impact: reduces inventory complexity and ensures consistent performance across installations. Application: works with the support arm system and related Rittal accessories. Objection handling: if height offset is required, consider the CP 120 variant; CP 6212.680 is specified without height offset to maximize available space in compact layouts. Business impact: provides a clear option for space-constrained enclosures. Application: suitable for retrofit projects aiming to preserve cabinet footprint while maintaining hinge performance.
