Quick Summary
VX 8617.400 VX slide rail for mounting plates enables side entry in enclosure assemblies. Engineers often struggle with precise alignment and quick installation when space is tight or multiple enclosures require consistent set-forward mounting. This product references ETIM EC002620 and ECLASS 8.0 27189261 standards for cross-system compatibility, though no explicit CE/SIL/IP rating is listed in the data. By design, it supports set-forward positioning and ships in ready-to-install packs of two, helping procurement and installation teams reduce lead times. In addition to core functionality, it complements enclosure hardware and mounting rails, delivering tangible business value through faster builds, easier maintenance, and improved inventory accuracy.

Product description
VX Slide rail, for mounting plate, for W: 600 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Side-entry design enables mounting plates to slide in from the side, reducing installation time and misalignment risk across multiple enclosures. This translates to faster panel assembly and lower labor costs in factory lines or field retrofits. Feature → Application: Sheet steel with zinc-plated finish delivers durable, corrosion-resistant hardware suitable for harsh environments common in industrial enclosures and electrical infrastructure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ready-to-install pack of two with assembly parts minimizes procurement steps and on-site assembly time, boosting project throughput on large equipment builds. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Weight per pack of 3 kg and a standard 600 mm width fit simplifies inventory management and logistics for stocking enclosures and replacement rails. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PCF 11.4 kg CO2 eq per pack (Category B) supports sustainability reporting and greener manufacturing practices. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ETIM EC002620 and ECLASS 8.0 27189261 alignment ensures seamless data exchange with procurement systems and BOMs, reducing data mismatches and rework.

FAQs
VX 8617.400 is designed as a side-entry slide rail for mounting plates in 600 mm wide enclosures. It ships in packs of two with assembly parts and is suitable for standard enclosure hardware setups that require set-forward positioning, ensuring smooth integration with existing mounting kits and rails.
Each pack contains 2 pieces, and the weight per pack is 3 kg. This packaging supports straightforward stock management and reduces the complexity of handling multiple single units on site during installation or field upgrades.
VX 8617.400 is made from sheet steel with a zinc-plated surface finish. This combination provides robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments typical of enclosure infrastructure and electrical installations.
Yes. The rail is specifically designed for sliding the mounting plate in from the side and supports mounting in a set-forward position, enabling precise alignment and faster assembly in compact spaces where traditional top-entry methods are impractical.
The product references ETIM 9 EC002620 and ECLASS 8.0 27189261 classifications, which facilitates cross-system data integration and BOM alignment. While explicit CE/SIL/IP certifications are not listed, these classifications help ensure compatibility with common ERP and PLM datasets used in industrial procurement.
