Rittal VX 8640.027 is a 200 mm high RAL 9005 sheet steel base/plinth corner piece and front/rear trim panel set designed for compatible 1800 mm wide industrial enclosures.
The Rittal VX 8640.027 is a heavy-duty base/plinth corner piece set with front and rear trim panels designed to provide a stable and practical foundation for wide industrial enclosure installations. As part of the Rittal VX base/plinth system, it combines robust sheet steel construction with moulded self-positioning to simplify installation beneath compatible floor-standing electrical, control and automation enclosures.
The base/plinth corner pieces may be used with or without trim panels depending on the application. Large openings in each corner piece provide optimum access to screw-fastening points during installation, while the supplied plastic corner and baying covers conceal the openings afterwards for a neat and professional finish. Side base/plinth trim panels may also be added to complete the unit, provide additional stabilisation between adjoining base/plinths or enable interior configuration within the base area.
With a height of 200 mm and compatibility with enclosures measuring 1800 mm in width, the VX 8640.027 is particularly suitable for large industrial cabinet installations requiring additional floor clearance. The base/plinth corner pieces and trim panels are manufactured from sheet steel and finished in RAL 9005 black for a durable and professional enclosure installation.
A correctly configured base/plinth provides a stable mounting foundation beneath a floor-standing electrical enclosure while creating useful additional space between the cabinet and installation floor. The 200 mm height of the VX 8640.027 can assist with cable routing, installation access and enclosure servicing while providing dependable mechanical support for large cabinet configurations.
The Rittal VX 8640.027 is designed specifically for wide 1800 mm enclosure installations. Its four heavy-duty corner pieces are combined with a modular front and rear trim panel arrangement consisting of one 200 mm high panel and two 100 mm high panels, providing flexibility for configuring the base/plinth around the requirements of the installation.
