FAQs
The VX 8660.008 is designed for the VX family and related widths up to 1600 mm, including VX, VX IT, VX SE, TX CableNet, TS, TS IT, TP, PC, IW, and CX enclosures. It ships as a two-pack with 4 corner covers, 4 base/plinth corner pieces, and 2 trim panels, all ready for fast installation.
The corner pieces and trim panels provide a rigid base and defined interior boundaries, reducing wobble and misalignment across multiple base units. This supports consistent door alignment, easier cable routing, and configurable interiors to accommodate different component layouts without added hardware or rework.
VX 8660.008 is designed to enhance mechanical stability for VX enclosures in typical industrial automation settings. While UL 50E Type 1 confirms electrical enclosure safety, you should assess environmental protection, mounting practices, and additional vibration isolation if operating in extreme shock or highly corrosive environments.
The product is rated UL 50E Type 1, and catalogued with ETIM EC000721 and ECLASS 27182003 references. It carries the EAN 4028177978072 and aligns with RAL 9005 color specification for visual consistency in plant panels. These certifications simplify compliance and cataloging during procurement.
The included parts and standardized dimensions reduce assembly time and stock complexity, enabling faster project delivery. With packs of two and a total weight of 9 kg per pack, handling is straightforward. PCF is 34.3 kg CO2 eq per pack (Cat B), contributing to sustainability goals and predictable lifecycle costs.
