Quick Summary

Rittal VX 8865.000 is a versatile enclosure system designed to protect electrical and automation gear in industrial control cabinets. This enclosure simplifies interior installation by including a mounting plate, rear panel, and gland plates in a single package. Engineers often struggle with interior layout, ingress protection, and door orientation; this system addresses those pain points with a right-hinged door that can be swapped to the left and robust sheet-steel construction. The enclosure meets IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and UL Type 1/NEMA 1 compatibility, ensuring safe operation in harsh environments. By standardizing components and finish (RAL 7035) it reduces project lead times and commissioning costs, while enabling scalable configurations and quick maintenance.
