FAQs

VX 8265.000 ships with two punched rails (18 × 39 mm) and a mounting plate measuring 1,099 × 1,496 mm, designed for straightforward panel mounting. The enclosure features two front doors hinged on the right by default, with a left-hinged option available. This setup supports quick retrofits and repeatable layouts across similar control cabinets.
The enclosure uses sheet steel as the basic material, with door, roof, and rear panel thicknesses specified as 2.0 mm and 1.5 mm for other components. It delivers IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1/NEMA 1 compliance, ensuring safe operation in challenging environments while maintaining a robust exterior finish.
Yes. The IP55 rating provides protection against dust and water spray, while the textured powder-coated exterior offers corrosion resistance. The IK10 impact rating supports robust handling in busy production floors, outdoor areas, or exposure to incidental impacts, making it suitable for industrial sites requiring reliable enclosure protection.
The integrated mounting plate, standard rails, and pre-fitted gland plates reduce field wiring time and commissioning effort. The two-door design provides easy access, minimizing labor during maintenance. Durable sheet steel and powder coating lower maintenance costs over the life of the cabinet, while the modular construction supports scalable upgrades without complete enclosure replacement.
The package includes the enclosure frame, doors, roof plate, rear panel, gland plates, mounting plate, and 2 punched rails. Doors can be swapped to left-hand operation; ensure compatibility with standard gland plates and mounting rails. For extended configurations, refer to Rittal accessory catalogs for additional rails, cable management components, and mounting hardware that maintain IP55 and IK10 compliance.
