Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 1200x1400x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature → Business Impact → Application: VX 8245.000 uses a sheet steel enclosure frame with a 1.5 mm wall thickness and a 2.0 mm door panel, delivering high rigidity and long service life in harsh environments. This translates to lower replacement costs and reduced maintenance intervals for industrial automation panels used in manufacturing lines and process control. Application: control panels in assembly lines or water/chemical treatment facilities benefit from dependable protection and minimal downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two front doors with a right-hinged default that can be swapped to the left, plus a mounting plate, rear panel, and gland plates, streamline interior installation and cable management. Application: electrical cabinets in logistics hubs or packaging machines gain faster setup and easier future reconfiguration. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP 55 and IK10 protection, UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1 ratings, and powder-coated exterior provide reliable dust, water splash, and impact resistance. Application: critical automation enclosures in dusty environments, outdoor-adjacent facilities, and compliant safety installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Supplied with 2 punched rails 18 x 39 mm, mounting plate (W x H: 1099 x 1296 mm), and versatile door orientation reduce external hardware costs and enable ready-to-wire interiors. Application: retrofit projects and new builds in control rooms or machine houses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PCF 347.4 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) supports lifecycle sustainability goals; durable powder coating minimizes repaint cycles and corrosion-related maintenance. Application: corporate sustainability reporting and long-term total cost of ownership optimization. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Weight at 141 kg per pack and standard accessories (roof plate, rear panel, gland plates) enable rigid, modular installations with predictable handling during installation and service. Application: warehouse and production floor deployments where handling efficiency matters. All described features align with long-tail needs such as “Rittal VX 8245.000 enclosure with mounting plate,” “IP55 industrial enclosure with two doors,” and “baysing enclosure system for 1200x1400x500 mm installations.”
