Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 1200x1200x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, two doors at the front
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD 1200x1200x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate and two front doors standardizes enclosure fabrication, reducing field customization and installation time. The sturdy sheet steel construction and textured powder-coated exterior deliver durable protection against industrial wear, enabling longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs in busy production environments. With a mounting plate measuring 1,099 mm by 1,096 mm and two punched rails (18 x 39 mm), technicians gain rapid interior layouts, faster component mounting, and straightforward cable routing for compliant control panels. IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance reduce ingress and physical damage, while UL 50E Type 1 / NEMA 1 compliance supports regulatory, safety, and commissioning requirements. Left/right door swing flexibility and included gland plates simplify installation in tight spaces. Sustainability considerations, including a cradle-to-gate PCF of 310.4 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), help projects meet corporate responsibility targets without compromising performance.

FAQs
VX 8215.000 provides two front doors hinged on the right by default (swap to left), with two punched rails (18 x 39 mm) and a mounting plate sized 1,099 x 1,096 mm. This layout supports rapid interior mounting of controllers, relays, and cabling, reducing field fabrication and saving commissioning time.
The enclosure uses sheet steel for all primary panels, with a 1.5 to 2.0 mm thickness (doors at 2.0 mm). It achieves IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance, ensuring robust dust and water ingress protection and strong mechanical durability in industrial environments.
IP55 protection supports dust and water ingress control in semi-exposed indoor or sheltered outdoor installations. The powder-coated exterior and zinc-plated gland plates add corrosion resistance, while the rigid frame and front-door design simplify maintenance and uptime in factory floors and process plants.
The enclosure is rated IP55 and IK10, with UL 50E Type 1 compliance and NEMA 1 compatibility. It is suitable for regulated electrical installations and provides a robust basis for compliant control-panels in industrial automation projects.
The integrated mounting plate, gland plates, and pre-punched rails reduce field modification and service time, limiting downtime. Durable sheet-steel construction and textured powder coating lower maintenance needs, while assembly efficiency and standardized components shorten project schedules and improve total cost of ownership.
