Quick Summary

Rittal VX 8626.000 enclosure frame provides robust interior mounting for industrial control cabinets. Facilities struggle with cramped wiring, moisture intrusion, and misaligned panels that slow installations. It carries IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL Type 1, and NEMA 1 compliance. These certifications, combined with modular mounting and a swappable door, support faster, compliant installations and long-term cost savings. For design engineers and procurement teams, the VX 8626.000 enables predictable lead times and scalable deployments. Its sheet steel construction, dipcoat primed surfaces, and zinc-plated hardware help reduce maintenance cycles and total cost of ownership. With a right-hinged door that can swap to left, installation flexibility saves space in tight control rooms. In applications from machine automation to data acquisition enclosures, the VX 8626.000 supports clean wiring, grounding, and future expansions.

Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 600x2200x600 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature → Rugged enclosure frame and components use sheet steel with defined thickness across the frame, door, rear panel, mounting plate, and gland plates. Business Impact → This rigidity reduces door misalignment and panel flex during vibration, delivering predictable assembly and longer service life in demanding environments. Application → It supports reliable interior installation for industrial automation cabinets, machine enclosures, and process-control panels. Feature → Protective finish and corrosion resistance are built in: dipcoat-primed frame, powder-coated exterior on door, roof, and rear panel, and zinc-plated gland plates. Business Impact → These coatings extend enclosure life in dusty, humid, or wash-down areas, lowering maintenance cycles and replacement costs. Application → Ideal for food processing lines, packaging machines, and outdoor equipment racks in moderate climates. Feature → Flexible door orientation and mounting options include a right-handed door (swappable to the left), plus a mounting plate 499 mm by 2,096 mm and two punched rails. Business Impact → This flexibility reduces installation planning time and simplifies retrofits or expansions, saving labor and downtime. Application → Supports scalable wiring schemes and easy integration with PLCs, drives, and I/O modules. Feature → Standard dimensions provide straightforward compatibility: 600 mm width, 2,200 mm height, and 600 mm depth, with a 106 kg per-pack weight. Business Impact → Predictable handling and transport simplify site logistics and crane planning, while the weight signals robust construction. Application → Particularly beneficial for mid-size to large control panels and racks in automation facilities. Feature → certifications and compliance are embedded: IP 55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, NEMA 1, and UL 50E Type 1. Business Impact → Ensures regulatory alignment across global sites and reduces audit findings while supporting safe operation. Application → Ideal for international manufacturing environments and connected industrial networks needing standardised enclosure solutions.
