Rittal VX 8618.822 EMC gland plate - 1000 mm Width
Part Number: 8618822
Quick Summary
The Rittal VX 8618.822 EMC gland plate provides shielded cable grounding and secure fastening for VX enclosure systems. Engineers often struggle to maintain low-resistance EMC contact while controlling installation time and costs. When selecting enclosure accessories, verify CE conformity where required, and note that this model does not provide an IP rating or defined SIL suitability for this passive component. For projects prioritizing EMC performance and quick, tool-friendly installation, this gland plate helps reduce EMI risk and simplifies maintenance. The kit fits VX enclosures of 1,000 mm width and supports 400, 500, 600 and 800 mm deep variants, with included EMC seals to ensure continuous shielding across the interface.

FAQs
To install, ensure the VX enclosure is powered down and accessories are compatible. Align the 1,000 mm wide gland plate with the enclosure interface, attach the gland plate with T-head punching, fit the sliding gland plate, and apply the two EMC seals to seal the shield interface. Verify shield continuity and tighten fasteners to specification. This quick-install kit minimizes wiring disruption and supports reliable EMC performance.
The gland plate combines EMC contacting with cable fastening to deliver a low-resistance contact between the cable shield and the gland plate, reducing EMI leakage paths and improving shielding effectiveness. This is especially important for shielded cables up to Ø20 mm in VX enclosure systems, helping you meet EMI/EMC compliance in sensitive automation applications.
Yes. The VX EMC gland plate is designed for VX enclosures and supports all standard depths of 400, 500, 600 and 800 mm when used with standard gland plates. Its 1,000 mm width ensures compatibility with VX frames, enabling straightforward integration across common installation footprints.
Note indicates that standard IP protection is not supported by this gland plate. While CE conformity and other certifications may apply to overall system installations, this component itself does not carry an IP rating. Always verify your project’s regulatory requirements and supplement with additional sealing or enclosure options if an IP rating is mandated.
Each pack includes one gland plate with T-head punching, one sliding gland plate, and two EMC seals, weighing 1.78 kg per pack. The GTIN is 4028177929869 and the unit is supplied as VX 8618.822. This consistent packaging supports predictable handling and installation planning on site.
