The Rittal VX 8660003 is a
plinth corner piece with integrated
plinth trim panels at the front and rear, specifically designed for enclosures and housings with a width of 800 mm. It serves as a stable end and connection element in the
plinth system VX, where the
plinth trim panels enable a flush and aesthetically pleasing connection between adjacent baying positions. The component consists of
sheet steel for the corner pieces and trim panels, and
plastic for the corner and baying covers, ensuring high mechanical strength and easy installation. The standard color is
RAL 9005, enabling a uniform visual design in the enclosure area.
Applications
This product is intended for use in industrial enclosure and housing systems, particularly in combination with housing types VX, VX IT, VX SE, TX CableNet, TS, TS IT, TP, PC, IW, and CX. It is primarily used in installations with a width of 800 mm, where a stable and clean finishing solution for the plinth area is required. The
plinth trim panels serve not only as a visual finish but can also be used for additional stabilization between plinths or as a base for internal installation.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The
plinth corner pieces are 100 mm high and allow for secure anchoring at the corners of the plinth. The integrated
plinth trim panels at the front and rear ensure a closed and clean finish, improving the visual quality of the enclosure. The delivery includes 4 corner covers, 4 plinth corner pieces, 2 plinth trim panels, and the required mounting hardware. The
corner and baying covers made of plastic ensure a clean transition between individual modules and prevent gaps or unevenness.
Technology Explained Simply
The use of
sheet steel for the corner pieces and trim panels ensures high mechanical stability and durability, even under industrial loads. The
plastic covers are lightweight and resistant to mechanical stress. The height of 100 mm is matched to the standard height of plinth systems to ensure uniform mounting height. The
RAL 9005 color is an industry standard and enables visual harmonization with other components.
Compatibility and Accessories
The plinth corner piece is compatible with a wide range of enclosure and housing types, including VX, TS, TP, PC, IW, CX, and TX CableNet, provided the width is 800 mm. It can be combined with various accessories, such as
mounting rails,
levelling feet,
C-profile rails,
VX castors,
plinth baying brackets,
VX plinth expansion angles,
cable strain relief rails,
dual swivel castors,
VX optional trim panel mounting,
VX 8660100 mounting bracket,
levelling elements, or
VX system chassis, to further optimize the functionality and stability of the plinth.
Mounting and Installation
Installation is done by securing the plinth corner pieces to the corners of the plinth using the included fastening materials. The plinth trim panels are attached to the front and rear sides to ensure a closed finish. The corner and baying covers are mounted at the transitions between modules to create a flush connection. The installation is simple and requires no special tools or additional components.
Operational Advantages
The product provides high
stability of the plinth, increasing the mechanical safety of the entire enclosure. The
flexible internal installation options allow for individual adaptation to specific requirements. The
flush finish between baying positions improves visual quality and facilitates maintenance. The use of standardized materials and dimensions ensures easy integration into existing systems.
Type rating according to UL 50E
The product complies with the requirements of the UL 50E standard in categories
Type 1 and
Type 12, indicating a protection class for indoor use with limited protection against dust and splashing water. This certification makes it suitable for use in industrial indoor environments where certain mechanical and environmental loads are expected.
Weight and Environmental Impact
The packaging unit contains 2 pieces, with a weight of 5.42 kg per unit. The product category is classified as
Category B (Cradle-to-Gate), with a PCF value (Product Carbon Footprint) of 19.38 kg CO2 equivalents. This value is approximately calculated and self-declared, based on the product weight.
Compatibility with Other Systems
