Rittal VX 8185.245 Side Panel for VX - 1.5 mm Steel IP55

Clip-in side panel holders on the VX 8185.245 speed assembly by guiding the panel into the VX frame and locking with minimal tools. This design reduces field labor and commissioning downtime, a critical advantage in lean manufacturing and automation deployments. Engineers can sequence panel installation during cabinet build-out and service with confidence, knowing the parts align consistently across units. The panel uses 1.5 mm sheet steel, dipcoat-primed and powder-coated outside, delivering stiffness and corrosion resistance. Color consistency in RAL 7035 supports standardization across multi-bay systems and makes preventive maintenance easier to plan visually. IP protection 55 rating confirms resistance to dust and water ingress in typical factory environments, while UL 50E Type 1 compatibility supports safe use in service areas and control panels. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance and reduce rework during audits. Packaging and compatibility: Each pack contains two panels with assembly parts included, aligning with VX modular kits to simplify on-site stocking and reduce project logistics. Weight per pack is 22 kg, which supports manageable shipping and crane-free handling on site. Sustainability: PCF cradle-to-gate value is 83.8 kg CO2 eq per pack (Cat B), reflecting responsible manufacturing and a lower environmental footprint when replacing or upgrading enclosure components. Installation and maintenance impact: The VX 1800x500 mm fitment and factory-supplied mounting hardware streamline installation, minimize field modifications, and improve ongoing serviceability.
