The Rittal mounting plate AX 5051389 is a component for enclosures from the AX series, specifically designed for mounting electrical and electronic components within an enclosure. The product is made of sheet steel and features a galvanized surface, providing corrosion protection and extending service life in industrial applications. The mounting plate has a width of 945 mm and a height of 975 mm, designed for enclosures with internal dimensions of 1,000 mm width and 1,000 mm height. The material thickness of the mounting plate is 2.5 mm, ensuring sufficient stability and load capacity for typical mounting tasks.

Applications

The mounting plate is used in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in enclosures of the AX series from Rittal. It serves as a fixed mounting surface for components such as switching devices, power semiconductors, controls, or other electrical modules. Due to its dimensions and material thickness, it is suitable for medium to high loads in operation, for example in manufacturing automation, power supply technology, or process control.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The mounting plate is designed as a flat, rectangular plate, mounted on the inner walls of an enclosure. The galvanized surface protects the sheet steel from moisture and oxidation, which is particularly advantageous in humid or corrosive environments. The dimensions of 945 mm width and 975 mm height allow optimal use of the available internal space in a 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm enclosure, with the plate fitting easily into the designated mounting openings. The material thickness of 2.5 mm ensures a stable base that does not deform even when mounting heavier components.

Technology Explained Simply

The mounting plate is made of sheet steel, a material widely used in industrial electrical engineering due to its strength and dimensional stability. The galvanization of the surface is an electroplating process in which a zinc layer is applied to the sheet steel to protect it from rust. The specified dimensions (945 mm × 975 mm) are chosen to fit enclosures with an internal width and height of 1,000 mm each, leaving a small clearance to the enclosure wall to allow secure mounting. The material thickness of 2.5 mm is sufficient to withstand mechanical loads during mounting and in operation.

Compatibility and Accessories

The mounting plate AX 5051389 is specifically developed for enclosures of the AX series from Rittal, which have an internal width of 1,000 mm and an internal height of 1,000 mm. It is therefore a direct replacement or supplementary component for existing enclosure systems of this group. Use in other enclosure types is not intended, as the dimensions and mounting points do not match.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done by securing the plate to the inner walls of the enclosure, inserting it into the designated mounting openings and fastening it with appropriate screws or mounting elements. The plate is dimensioned to fit easily into the enclosure without requiring additional modification.

Advantages in Operation

The mounting plate provides a stable and corrosion-resistant mounting surface, increasing the reliability of installed components. The galvanized surface ensures a longer service life, especially in environments with high humidity or aggressive atmospheres. The precise fit for enclosures with internal dimensions of 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm enables efficient use of available space and simplifies the planning and installation of enclosure systems. The material thickness of 2.5 mm ensures high mechanical stability, sufficient even for mounting heavier modules.
