FAQs
VX 8204.000 arrives with a mounting plate, two punched rails, and gland plates designed for quick interior fit. Consider hinge orientation (right by default, left swap available) and verify the mounting plate fits your internal components (1,099 x 1,896 mm). Plan for IP55-rated sealing and standard cable entry through the gland plates to maintain enclosure integrity during installation.
Yes. The VX 8204.000 is UL 50E Type 1 rated and IK10 impact resistant, with IP55 dust and water protection and NEMA 1 enclosure classification. This combination supports safe operation in industrial automation environments and helps meet regulatory and safety requirements for control cabinets.
Best suited for manufacturing automation and process control panels, the VX 8204.000 provides a standardised interior layout, robust sheet steel construction, and a 1200x2000x400 mm footprint. It supports consistent component mounting, easy cable management, and scalable configurations across multiple production lines.
Durable sheet steel with dipcoat priming and powder-coated exterior minimizes corrosion and maintenance needs. Zinc-plated gland plates resist wear, while the rigid frame and doors support long service life. The included mounting hardware and standardised rails simplify upgrades and reduce lifecycle downtime, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
Standardised interior components, a full set of mounting rails, and ready-to-install features (doors, roof, rear panel) reduce install time and field wiring effort. Its IP55/NEMA 1/UL 50E Type 1 compliance lowers certification risk, while the 1,200 x 2,000 x 400 mm footprint fits common automation modules, enabling predictable, repeatable installations and lower project costs.
