Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8405.000 enclosures provide robust housing for electrical and automation control equipment in industrial environments. Cramped panel spaces and complex cabling can slow deployments, so this system simplifies interior installation with a mounting plate, gland plates, and a front door that can be swapped to the left. It delivers IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and NEMA 1 compatibility, with UL 50E Type 1 context to support global compliance. Designed for scalable 19-inch rack integration, these enclosures reduce wiring errors and downtime while enabling efficient service and future-ready expansion across production lines and machine controls.

Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 400x2000x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature → Business Impact → Application: VX 8405.000 uses a 400x2000x500 mm WHD sheet steel enclosure frame with a 1.5 mm shell and 2.0 mm door; this combination provides rigidity and improved heat dissipation for reliable control panels, translating to fewer field repairs and smoother routine maintenance in industrial automation environments. Application: Ideal for control cabinets in manufacturing lines where space is tight and cabling must be tidy and accessible. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The enclosure ships with a mounting plate (299 mm x 1,896 mm) and 18 x 39 mm punched rails, enabling fast, Code-compliant 19-inch equipment installation; this accelerates project timelines and reduces installation labor costs on new builds or retrofits. Application: Beneficial for telecom-ready or machine-vision systems requiring modular mounting and quick reconfiguration. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP 55 protection, NEMA 1 compatibility and UL 50E Type 1 alignment ensure regulatory compliance and safer operation in controlled environments; this minimizes risk during audits and supports ongoing uptime targets. Application: Suitable for electrical infrastructure in process lines, packaging, and automation cabinets where dust, water splash, and impact exposure are concerns. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The textured powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035 plus zinc-plated gland plates deliver corrosion resistance and long-term durability; this lowers repaint and maintenance costs while maintaining a professional factory appearance. Application: Outdoor-adjacent or damp environments with robust aesthetics and enduring protection. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A single door with left/right hinge swapability provides installation flexibility and simplifies retrofits; this reduces misalignment risk and speeds up deployment when equipment layout changes. Application: Ideal for evolving control rooms and modular automation racks where door orientation and space planning vary by project.

FAQs
VX 8405.000 includes a mounting plate measuring 299 mm by 1,896 mm and two punched rails (18 x 39 mm) to accommodate standard 19-inch equipment. The door is hinged on the right by default but can be swapped to the left, enabling flexible rack layouts and quick retrofits without structural changes.
The enclosure offers IP55 protection for dust and water ingress, IK10 impact resistance for robust mechanical durability, and NEMA 1 rating for basic indoor enclosure protection. It also aligns with UL 50E Type 1 requirements, supporting global compliance for electrical control cabinets.
Yes. Its sheet-steel construction with varied wall thicknesses, powder-coated exterior, and zinc-plated gland plates deliver long-term durability under demanding conditions. The combination of IP55, IK10, and UL/CE-aligned features reduces downtime, extends service intervals, and supports continuous operation in manufacturing and automation cabinets.
Expect to reference IP55 protection, NEMA 1 classification, UL 50E Type 1 compatibility, IK10 impact resistance, and CE-related compliance where applicable. The VX 8405.000 also provides ETIM and ECLASS classifications that help with product data mapping in procurement and CAD workflows.
The enclosure’s durable steel construction, modular mounting, and left-right door flexibility reduce rework and maintenance costs. The included rails and mounting plate accelerate installation, while the corrosion-resistant finish lowers refurbishment needs, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and faster ROI in automation projects.
