The mounting plate AX 5051382 from Rittal is a component for enclosures in industrial applications, specifically designed for mounting electrical and electronic components within AX enclosure systems. The product is made of sheet steel and features a galvanized surface, providing corrosion protection and enhancing durability in industrial environments. The dimensions of the mounting plate are 545 mm in width and 775 mm in height, designed for enclosures with an external width of 600 mm and an external height of 800 mm. The material thickness of the mounting plate is 2.5 mm, ensuring sufficient stability for securing devices and assemblies.

Applications

The mounting plate is used in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in enclosures built according to the AX system from Rittal. It serves as a load-bearing base for installing switching devices, power electronics, controls, and other components. Due to its dimensions and material thickness, it is suitable for medium to high loads, as encountered in production plants, automation systems, or power distribution enclosures. The galvanized surface also makes it suitable for environments with increased humidity or low corrosion exposure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The mounting plate is designed as a flat, rectangular plate to be inserted into the designated enclosure. It is secured to the inner walls of the enclosure using fastening elements (e.g., screws), although the exact mounting procedures are not described in the datasheet. The material thickness of 2.5 mm ensures sufficient stiffness to compensate for vibrations and mechanical loads during operation. The galvanized surface provides protection against oxidation and extends the service life of the component. The dimensions of 545 mm width and 775 mm height are matched to the internal dimensions of an AX enclosure with external dimensions of 600 mm × 800 mm, ensuring the plate fits optimally within the enclosure.

Technology Explained Simply

The mounting plate is made of sheet steel, a material commonly used in industrial electrical engineering due to its strength and shape stability. The galvanization of the surface is an electrochemical protection that shields the iron in the steel from corrosion by forming a barrier against moisture and oxygen. The material thickness of 2.5 mm is sufficient for mounting electrical assemblies, ensuring secure fastening without the plate bending or being damaged under load. The exact dimensions (545 mm × 775 mm) are chosen to fit enclosures with external dimensions of 600 mm × 800 mm, with the internal dimensions of the enclosure enabling the placement of the mounting plate.

Compatibility and Accessories

The mounting plate AX 5051382 is specifically developed for enclosures of the AX system from Rittal, which have an external width of 600 mm and an external height of 800 mm. It is therefore compatible with the corresponding enclosure housings and can be used as part of a modular enclosure system.

Mounting and Installation

The mounting plate is inserted into the enclosure and secured to the inner walls. The dimensions and material thickness are designed to allow the plate to be securely positioned within the enclosure and to provide the required stability for mounting electrical assemblies. The galvanized surface facilitates installation by preventing rust formation, which could occur during mechanical processing or during operation.

Advantages in Operation

The mounting plate provides a stable and corrosion-resistant base for installing electrical and electronic components. The material thickness of 2.5 mm ensures high mechanical strength, withstanding vibrations and loads during operation. The galvanized surface extends the service life of the component, especially in environments with increased humidity. The precise fit for enclosures with external dimensions of 600 mm × 800 mm enables easy integration into existing systems and reduces installation errors. The mounting plate is thus a reliable component for industrial electrical engineering, ensuring secure and efficient mounting of devices within the enclosure.
