FAQs
VX 8486.000 installs quickly with a complete accessory set. The pack includes a mounting plate measuring 299 mm by 1,696 mm, two punched rails 18 x 39 mm, and a door hinged on the right that can be swapped to the left. Install the mounting plate and rails to align internal equipment, then attach gland plates and the rear panel for a neat interior. This arrangement supports straightforward wiring and clean cable management, reducing field labor and potential commissioning delays.
The enclosure uses sheet steel throughout the frame, roof, door, and rear panel with thicknesses of 1.5 mm for most parts and 2.0 mm for the door. The frame is dipcoat-primed, while the door, roof, and rear panel receive powder coating with a textured exterior. Gland plates are zinc-plated. This combination provides corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, and ease of maintenance in dusty, damp, or abrasive environments.
Yes. VX 8486.000 fulfills IP55 ingress protection, IK10 impact resistance, and NEMA 1 electrical rating. IP55 guards against dust ingress and water splashes, IK10 ensures robust impact protection for semi-industrial settings, and NEMA 1 suitability aligns with basic indoor general-purpose enclosures. In practice, these ratings enable reliable operation in manufacturing floors, assembly lines, and equipment rooms without additional protective housings.
The enclosure is well-suited for automation cabinets, process control rooms, and distributed control systems across manufacturing, packaging, and food & beverage sectors. Its standardized 400x1800x600 mm footprint, right-hand hinge (swappable to left), and included accessories support quick deployments and straightforward retrofits. The robust protection ratings also make it a dependable choice for environments with dust, minor moisture, and physical contact.
VX 8486.000 has a measured PCF of 171.5 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) per pack, reflecting responsible manufacturing. The enclosure weighs 69.6 kg per pack and uses recyclable sheet steel with zinc-plated components. These factors support environmental reporting and allow procurement teams to compare total cost of ownership with other enclosures while maintaining robust protection and longevity.
