Quick Summary

Rittal VX 8485.000 Enclosure provides rugged, front-opening housing for electrical control panels in industrial facilities. Cramped interiors and sealing gaps often escalate maintenance, accelerate corrosion, and drive downtime. This enclosure delivers IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL 50E Type 1 compliance, and NEMA 1 suitability, enabling safe operation in harsh environments. Its modular interior and durable powder-coated exterior support fast installation, predictable procurement, and scalable expansion across multi-site automation projects. Designed for engineers and procurement teams, it combines rugged housing with standardized components to lower total cost of ownership in control cabinet programs.

Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 400x1800x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature: VX 8485.000 uses a WHD of 400x1800x500 mm in a sheet steel frame with a mounting plate and a single front door. Business Impact: Provides ample interior space for cables and components, enabling tidy wiring and easier heat management, which translates to faster commissioning and reduced risk of contact issues. Application: Ideal for control panels and automation cabinets in mid-sized industrial systems. Feature: Protection and finish include IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance with dipcoat-primed exterior and powder-coated panels. Business Impact: Minimizes ingress-related faults, extends service intervals, and reduces corrosion-driven maintenance costs. Application: Suitable for harsh factory floors and semi-exposed environments where reliability is critical. Feature: Durable materials and build specification with sheet steel ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 mm thickness, plus a 3.0 mm mounting plate. Business Impact: Improves mechanical integrity for heavy components and enables robust mounting, lowering risk of vibration-induced wear. Application: Supports heavy automation modules and power distribution within the enclosure. Feature: Flexible door orientation and interior mounting options, including one door hinged on the right and swap-to-left capability, plus 2 punched rails 18 x 39 mm. Business Impact: Simplifies retrofits and site-specific layouts, reducing installation time and field customization costs. Application: Facilitates multi-site rollouts and standardized cabinet programs. Feature: Comprehensive packaging and compliance features, including mounting plate, rear panel, gland plates, and lock with 3 mm double-bit, plus UL Type 1 and NEMA 1 compatibility. Business Impact: Ensures regulatory alignment and straightforward maintenance while enabling quick commissioning. Application: Widely used in automation cabinets, switchgear housings, and control enclosures across manufacturing sectors.

FAQs

To guarantee compatibility, mount the two punched rails 18x39 mm first, then attach the 299x1696 mm mounting plate. Position components within the 400x1800x500 mm interior, wire through the gland plates, and finally hinge the door on the right (swap to left if required). Ensure IP55 seals are properly seated to maintain protection.
The enclosure carries IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL Type 1, and NEMA 1 suitability, which support indoor control cabinet applications in harsh environments. These ratings aid regulatory alignment for electrical installations, simplify supplier qualification, and help justify enclosure choice in facility standards and industrial automation projects.
IP55 provides protection against dust and water ingress from splashes, but the enclosure is not rated for direct outdoor immersion or heavy weather exposure. For outdoor or highly exposed applications, consider additional protective enclosures or housing seals, mounting in sheltered locations, and environmental controls to maintain reliability.
The robust sheet steel construction, tight IP55 sealing, and IK10 resilience reduce corrosion and physical damage, lowering maintenance frequency and downtime. The standard interior mounting options speed commissioning, while compatibility with common mounting rails and doors accelerates site adaptability, driving lower total cost of ownership over multi-site automation programs.
Interior support includes a dedicated mounting plate and 2 punched rails 18x39 mm, with a rear panel and gland plates for organized cable management. The door orientation can be adjusted, and the 299x1696 mm mounting plate accommodates a wide range of panel layouts, enabling tidy wiring, efficient heat dissipation, and straightforward maintenance.
