Product description
VX Side panel, screw-fastened, for HD: 2000x1000 mm, sheet steel
The screw-fastened VX 8100.245 Side Panel uses a clip-in side panel holder, delivering significant time savings during installation. This translates into shorter commissioning windows and lower labor costs on mid-size VX enclosures. It’s particularly valuable in high-uptime applications where every minute of downtime matters, such as factory automation panels and process control cabinets. Constructed from 1.5 mm sheet steel and finished with a dipcoat-primed, powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035, the panel combines durability with a clean, maintenance-friendly appearance. The robust coating resists corrosion and wear in busy industrial environments, supporting long service intervals and reduced repaint cycles. IP 55 protection and UL 50E Type 1 rating provide broad safety assurances for indoor and semi-exposed installations. This compatibility helps you meet regulatory requirements while safeguarding mounted components from dust and moisture, reducing fault rates and warranty risks. Each pack includes assembly parts and contains two panels, with a weight of 47 kg per pack. The VX 8100.245 is designed to fit VX enclosures with a height of 2000 mm and a depth of 1000 mm, ensuring a precise match and minimizing field trimming or gaps during assembly. From a sustainability perspective, the PCF is 179.1 kg CO2 eq per pack (Category B), reflecting responsible material choices and a transparent supply chain while meeting modern enterprise ESG targets.
