Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8617.700 Punched Rail enables precise, variable interior installation on the inner mounting level of VX enclosures. Engineers often struggle to adapt interior mounting rails to changing layouts without extra parts or custom fabrication. While the rail is made from zinc-plated sheet steel and designed for VX systems, certifications are not specified in the provided data; verify local conformance for CE, IP, or SIL requirements as applicable. The product integrates with existing VX components and other punched sections, delivering a flexible, scalable solution that reduces installation time and overall BOM while supporting reliable, repeatable mounting in industrial environments.

Product description
VX Punched rail 18 x 38 mm, for W/D: 400 mm
The VX 8617.700 Punched Rail is built from zinc-plated sheet steel, offering durable corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer system interruptions on the shop floor. With an 18 x 38 mm cross-section and a 400 mm width/depth, the rail provides compatible mounting space for a wide range of interior components, enabling rapid reconfiguration without redesigning the enclosure. The supply includes assembly parts and comes in packs of four, which accelerates on-site installation and simplifies procurement for multi-rack projects. In enclosures with mounting plates, two punched rails are included, reducing the need for additional purchases and speeding up early-phase installations. The rail’s compatibility with other punched sections supports modular expansion as your control cabinet grows, aligning with lean engineering practices and minimizing downtime during upgrades. Weighing 1.62 kg per pack, it remains easy to handle during installation and maintenance tasks, improving installer efficiency and safety on the job.
