Rittal VX 8640.002 is a 100 mm high RAL 9005 sheet steel base/plinth corner piece and front/rear trim panel set designed for compatible 600 mm wide industrial enclosures.
The Rittal VX 8640.002 is a robust base/plinth corner piece set with front and rear trim panels designed to provide a stable foundation for compatible industrial enclosure systems. Part of the Rittal VX base/plinth system, it combines high-load-capacity corner pieces with removable trim panels for flexible installation beneath floor-standing electrical and automation enclosures.
The base/plinth corner pieces feature moulded self-positioning to simplify alignment with the enclosure during assembly. Large openings provide convenient access to screw-fastening points, while the supplied corner and baying covers conceal these openings after installation. The corner pieces can also be used with or without trim panels depending on the enclosure configuration.
With a height of 100 mm and compatibility with enclosures measuring 600 mm in width, the VX 8640.002 uses durable sheet steel corner pieces and front/rear trim panels. Its RAL 9005 black finish provides a professional appearance and complements compatible Rittal floor-standing enclosure systems.
A correctly configured base/plinth provides a stable mounting foundation beneath a floor-standing electrical enclosure while creating additional clearance between the enclosure and the installation floor. This space can improve access during installation, support cable management and provide a practical foundation for industrial control and electrical distribution systems.
The Rittal VX 8640.002 combines high-load-capacity corner pieces with removable front and rear trim panels for flexible enclosure configuration. Additional side trim panels can be fitted where required to complete the base/plinth, provide stabilisation between adjoining base/plinth sections or support internal configuration within the base area.
