Product description
VX Side panel, screw-fastened, for HD: 1200x1000 mm, sheet steel
Clip-in side panel holder reduces alignment steps and minimizes on-site adjustments, translating to measurable labor savings and faster project turnover. In practice, technicians can snap the panel into place and secure with standard hardware, which lowers commissioning time and improves first-pass quality for VX enclosures used in machine control cabinets. Durable construction with 1.5 mm sheet steel provides rigidity and long-term protection against impact and vibration. The dipcoat-primed base and powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035 deliver corrosion resistance in factory floors and outdoor racks, helping to maintain enclosure aesthetics and warranty compliance. IP 55 and UL 50E Type 1 rating ensure enclosure integrity in industrial environments, supporting dust and water ingress protection and electrical safety compliance. Pack configuration simplifies logistics, with two panels per pack and a total weight of 28.8 kg, optimizing handling and transport. To fit VX enclosures, the kit includes assembly parts and is designed for HD 1200x1000 mm installations, enabling faster procurement and streamlined maintenance. The cradle-to-gate PCF of 109.7 kg CO2 eq per pack (Cat B) supports sustainability goals, while the EAN, ETIM, and ECLASS codes facilitate standardized sourcing and data exchange.
