FAQs
Yes. The VX 8001.216 gland plate is designed to fit VX family enclosures, including VX IT and VX SE variants, as well as CX pedestals. It ships with assembly parts for straightforward mounting and aligns with the enclosure footprint for quick, error-free installation. Ensure the base opening is prepared with a compatible sliding plate for full sealing.
Key specs: Width 440 mm, Depth 175 mm, WD 1000x175 mm, material sheet steel, surface zinc-plated. Pack contains 1 piece with a weight of 1.12 kg per pack. The gland plate is designed to provide a configurable floor space while maintaining grounding paths via earthing points.
The gland plate includes earthing points and assembly components that enable reliable potential equalisation across the enclosure base. This reduces risk of ground loops and supports proper electrical safety standards during configuration and maintenance of VX-based control cabinets.
The product references UL-listed documentation and industry classification data (ETIM 9 EC002620 and ECLASS 8.0 27189261), which aid in compliance verification and data-model consistency when selecting enclosure accessories for industrial automation deployments.
By enabling rapid, modular floor-space configuration and reducing base-sealing errors, the gland plate cuts installation time, lowers labor costs, and minimizes rework. Its included assembly parts and compatibility with multiple VX variants further streamline procurement and maintenance planning for ongoing automation projects.
