The article TS 8801260 from Rittal is a bracket for panel, specifically designed for mounting control or display surfaces in enclosures. It enables top-hinged mounting, allowing the panel to be opened to an angle of up to approximately 85°. The construction is designed for use in industrial enclosures, where secure and accessible operation of front elements is required. The bracket is supplied in a packaging unit of two pieces.

Applications
The bracket is used to secure panels containing, for example, control panels, displays, or switches. It is particularly suitable for applications where temporary opening of the panel is required for maintenance, adjustment, or inspection, without having to open the entire control system. Mounting is done in grid positions, ensuring precise positioning. The maximum opening of approximately 85° provides sufficient space for access to the control elements.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The bracket features 5 grid positions, enabling exact and repeatable positioning of the panel. This grid system is designed for integration into standardized enclosure systems based on a 19-inch or grid system. The top-hinged construction ensures that the panel can be folded upward, facilitating access to components located below. The maximum opening of approximately 85° is sufficient to reach most control and display elements without having to remove the panel entirely.

Technology Explained Simply
The bracket is made of sheet steel, providing high mechanical stability and durability. The surface is galvanized, offering an additional corrosion protection layer and increasing longevity in industrial environments. The galvanization protects the material from moisture and oxidation, which is particularly beneficial in environments with high humidity or aggressive atmospheres. The construction is designed to withstand loads from the weight of the panel and occasional mechanical stress during operation.

Compatibility and Accessories
The bracket is specifically developed for use with panels in Rittal enclosure systems. It is compatible with standard grid dimensions commonly used in industrial electrical engineering. Mounting is done by securing it to the designated mounting points in the enclosure.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by securing the bracket to the designated mounting points in the enclosure. The panel is attached to the hinges, with the 5 grid positions enabling precise positioning. Mounting requires no additional tools or components, as the bracket is directly inserted into the designated holes or grid points. The use is simple and requires no additional adjustments.

Advantages in Operation
Using the bracket enables faster and more efficient maintenance and inspection of control elements, as the panel does not need to be fully removed. The top-hinged construction and grid positions ensure secure and repeatable positioning. The galvanized surface increases service life and reduces maintenance frequency. The construction from sheet steel ensures high mechanical stability, which remains intact even with frequent use. The packaging unit of two pieces allows simultaneous mounting at two locations, which is advantageous for larger enclosures.
