FAQs
The VX 8618.200 is designed specifically for VX enclosures and is prepared for lock inserts, including type G or push-button variants up to 26.5 mm. The snap-mounted design allows quick installation with common hand tools, minimizing field downtime and ensuring a secure, aligned fit with standard VX components.
Key specs include die-cast zinc construction for durability, color RAL 7035, and a foldable mechanism that preserves door surface area. The weight per pack is 0.661 kg, and the handle is intended for Type UL 50E applications, Type 1 rating, which supports safe operation in electrical enclosures.
This handle excels in industrial automation and electrical infrastructure projects where enclosure space is at a premium and reliable locking is required. Its compatibility with VX enclosures, combined with space-maximizing folding action, makes it suitable for control panels, distribution cabinets, and equipment racks in manufacturing, process, and facility automation environments.
The VX Comfort handle carries UL 50E Type 1 considerations in its design documentation. While CE and IP ratings are not listed in the datasheet, the UL rating supports compliance workflows for electrical enclosures, and the ETIM EC000327 and ECLASS 27409217 references assist data-driven procurement and system integrations.
The folding action reduces swing space, enabling denser equipment layouts and faster door operation, which lowers installation time and labor costs. Its durable zinc die-cast construction minimizes maintenance, while compatibility with snap-mounted assembly reduces field service complexity and improves lifecycle value in high-asset environments.
