Product description
TS Side panel, screw-fastened, for TS, for WD: 40x40 mm, Stainless steel 1.4301
Feature: Screw-fastened side panel manufactured from stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) with 1.5 mm thickness. Business Impact: Delivers superior corrosion resistance and robust enclosure integrity, reducing unplanned replacements in challenging environments. Application: Specifically designed to fit TS enclosures at 1,800 mm height and 400 mm depth, aligning with common industrial installations. The brushed surface finish of grain 400 minimizes wear visibility and supports easier cleaning in dusty factory floors. Feature: Panel holders include an earthing insert to enable automatic potential equalisation. Business Impact: This improves EMC protection and electrical continuity, lowering EMI-related downtime and investigation costs. Application: Critical for automation cabinets requiring reliable grounding and consistent shielding in harsh factory floors. Benefit: Integration with TS 8700.840 panels speeds commissioning since no separate grounding accessories are required. Feature: IP protection rating and included assembly parts. Business Impact: Protects internal components from dust and water splash, extending service intervals and reducing field calls. Application: Ideal for indoor installations and semi-exposed environments within machine rooms and panel houses. Compatibility: Works with TS enclosure family for straightforward upgrades within existing projects. Feature: Two-pack packaging with 19 kg per pack. Business Impact: Simplifies logistics planning, improves BOM accuracy, and accelerates on-site deployment. Application: Supports scalable deployments in automation cabinets across TS 1800 mm height and 400 mm depth.

FAQs
The TS 8700.840 side panel is designed for TS enclosures with a height of 1,800 mm and a depth of 400 mm. It uses screw-fastened joining to enclosure panels and ships with assembly parts included, enabling straightforward mounting without specialized tools. The brushed stainless surface reduces maintenance and keeps a professional finish over time.
The earthing insert provides automatic potential equalisation, enhancing electrical continuity between the panel and enclosure. This reduces EMI susceptibility, improves shielding effectiveness, and lowers chances of EMI-induced downtime, which is critical for automation cabinets operating in noisy plant environments.
Yes. The IP55 rating protects against dust ingress and water spray, making it suitable for indoor industrial spaces and semi-exposed areas within controlled environments. The stainless steel construction also offers corrosion resistance, supporting long-term reliability in demanding facilities.
The panel aligns with CE certification, ETIM EC002524, and ECLASS 8.0 27182101, helping with regulatory documentation, procurement data, and cross-system compatibility in global supply chains.
Expect reduced maintenance frequency due to durable stainless steel, faster commissioning with earthing insert-enabled EMC protection, and lower logistics cost from two-pack packaging and included assembly parts. The panel fits standard TS configurations, simplifying procurement and scalable deployment across multiple cabinets.
