Rittal VX 8617.550 Partial Mounting Plate - 600 mm

The VX 8617.550 is built from sheet steel 2.5 mm, zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, and measures 500 x 775 mm, providing a robust mounting platform that supports diverse components inside VX enclosures. This material choice translates into long-term durability in harsh industrial environments, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs. Installation flexibility is a core advantage: it can be mounted upright as a vertical surface or flat as a horizontal base, enabling rapid reconfiguration as control schemes evolve. Compatibility with VX, VX SE, PC, and IW variants is reinforced by the explicit note that an adaptor rail VX is required for installing in VX SE, PC, and IW configurations, simplifying integration across product families. The plate weighs 9.84 kg per pack and ships with assembly parts, supporting straightforward handling and on-site assembly. Sustainability metrics are included via cradle-to-gate PCF (37.5 kg CO2 eq, Category B), helping quantify environmental impact for green procurement. Key dimensions and fit criteria—width 500 mm, depth 775 mm, and a to-fit door width of 600 mm—facilitate precise planning for enclosure layouts. Overall, the VX 8617.550 enables faster configuration, scalable upgrades, and improved serviceability for modular control panels and instrumentation racks.
