Product description
VX Side panel, screw-fastened, for HD: 2000x600 mm, stainless steel, 1.4301
Time-saving clip-in side panel holder speeds field installation by snapping the panel into VX enclosure bodies without hunting for screws. This directly reduces on-site labor time and downtime, delivering faster project turnovers and lower labor costs. It’s ideally suited for mid to large VX systems where quick maintenance access matters. Stainless steel 1.4301 provides corrosion resistance in damp or dusty environments, with a 1.5 mm thickness giving structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight. The brushed finish (grain 400) minimizes wear visibility and simplifies cleaning in harsh factories. The product is designed to fit VX enclosure types with height 2000 mm and depth 600 mm, aligning precisely to reduce sealing gaps and simplify retrofits thanks to the included assembly parts. With IP 55 protection and UL 50E Type 1 compatibility, it maintains enclosure integrity and electrical safety across challenging production lines. Packaging offers 2 pc per pack and weighs 23.7 kg per pack, with assembly parts included to streamline procurement and installation in VX system projects. Overall, the VX 8700.050 balances speed, durability, and compliance for reliable control-panel enclosures in industrial environments.
