VX 8618.330 hinges ship in packs of four with assembly parts for straightforward mounting. They are designed for VX enclosures and sheet steel doors, and do not require on-site machining. Note that doors must be hinged on the same side when enclosures are bayed to ensure correct alignment and swing behavior during retrofit or new builds.
These hinges are suitable for sheet steel doors and fit the VX enclosure family. They are intended for bayed or standalone configurations, with the door opening angle extended to 180°. Compatibility is optimized when using assembly parts provided and adhering to the VX enclosure standard for door mounting.
The VX 8618.330 hinges carry a UL 50E Type 1 rating and IP 55 protection, indicating suitability for industrial environments with dust and moisture exposure. The finish is RAL 7035, and the product is designed for robust service in demanding applications while maintaining compliance with standard enclosure requirements.
Upgrading to VX 8618.330 hinges eliminates the need for machining to achieve a 180° swing, speeds retrofits, and simplifies maintenance access. The included assembly parts reduce packing and tooling needs, enabling faster commissioning and less downtime during preventive maintenance or door-access tasks.
