Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8617.710 Punched Rail enables flexible interior mounting on the inner level of VX enclosures, ideal for customized layouts. Many engineers struggle to adapt interior fittings to evolving layouts without dedicated mounting rails, leading to rework and downtime. This accessory is designed for VX and VX SE cabinets with a 500 mm width/depth and uses zinc-plated sheet steel for durability and reliability. CE conformity and typical IP-rated cabinet environments are supported when used as part of a compliant VX system. From a procurement and maintenance perspective, the VX 8617.710 delivers installation efficiency, reconfigurability, and long-term cost savings by enabling variable interior installation on the inner mounting level.

Product description
VX Punched rail 18 x 38 mm, for W/D: 500 mm
VX 8617.710 delivers modularity and speed: the rail provides an 18 x 38 mm punched profile for interior mounting on the inner mounting level, enabling rapid reconfiguration of components within VX enclosures and VX SE variants. The sheet steel construction with zinc-plated surface offers robust corrosion resistance, improving cabinet longevity in demanding environments and reducing maintenance cycles. By including assembly parts and shipping in packs of four (2.06 kg per pack), installers gain predictable handling, streamlined ordering, and consistent installation quality across projects. The rail fits VX enclosure types with a 500 mm width/depth and can be mounted on the inner level or on the enclosure section, enabling flexible layouts while maintaining alignment accuracy. It may be used alongside other punched sections for scalable, modular interior configurations. This approach minimizes downtime during rework and supports repeatable, standards-compliant installations across industrial automation environments.

FAQs
VX 8617.710 is designed for interior mounting on the inner mounting level of VX enclosures and can be installed either on the inner mounting level or directly on the VX enclosure section. The rail is sized for W/D 500 mm, and installation parts are included to simplify assembly, reducing on-site time and ensuring repeatable alignment.
The rail measures 18 x 38 mm and is constructed from sheet steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It ships in packs of four, with an individual pack weight of approximately 2.06 kg. Each pack includes the necessary assembly parts to support quick, consistent interior mounting in VX cabinets.
Yes. VX 8617.710 is designed to fit VX and VX SE enclosures with a 500 mm width/depth. It can be mounted on the inner mounting level or on the enclosure section. Enclosures with a mounting plate may include two punched rails by default, facilitating immediate use and reducing procurement steps.
The punched rail enables flexible interior placement of mounting hardware, allowing quick reconfiguration as layouts change. The zinc-plated steel construction ensures durability in demanding environments, while the included assembly parts and standardized packs streamline procurement and installation. Together, these factors reduce project downtime, improve install consistency, and support scalable cabinet interiors for evolving automation needs.
Consider the pack size (4 rails per pack) and weight (2.06 kg per pack) for logistics planning. Verify compatibility with VX or VX SE cabinets and the 500 mm width/depth requirement. Note the enclosure-specific guidance: enclosures with mounting plates may include two rails, so cross-check existing inventory to avoid duplications or gaps in mounting capability.
