Rittal AX 1050.000 Compact Electrical Enclosure, Steel, IP66

The Rittal AX 1050.000 is a high-performance compact electrical enclosure engineered for demanding industrial environments. Constructed from durable steel, this enclosure provides a secure and organized housing solution for sensitive electrical control and automation equipment. With an IP66 ingress protection rating, it ensures reliable defense against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.

Advantages

This enclosure features an innovative design that incorporates integral locators in the roof, base, and sides, establishing a 25 mm system pitch pattern consistent with the VX25 large enclosure series. This patented system allows for efficient configuration and flexible refitting of internal components. Users can install or retrofit system accessories directly onto the integrated rails without the need for additional drilling, which significantly reduces installation time and preserves the structural integrity of the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control systems
• Electrical distribution and power management
• Outdoor installations requiring protection against water and dust
• Wall-mounted equipment housing

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is not intended for use in environments with extreme corrosive agents or hazardous explosive atmospheres unless specifically rated for such conditions. It may also be unsuitable for applications requiring high-frequency electromagnetic shielding without additional specialized accessories.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 500 mm width, 500 mm height, 210 mm depth
• Material: Steel
• Ingress Protection: IP66
• System Pitch: 25 mm standard pattern

How to use

The Rittal AX 1050.000 is designed for wall-mounted installation. Begin by securing the enclosure to a stable, flat surface using the appropriate mounting hardware. Once mounted, utilize the internal 25 mm system pitch rails to install your electrical components and accessories. Because the system is designed for tool-less or simplified mounting, you can attach rails and brackets directly to the enclosure frame, ensuring a clean and organized layout for your wiring and automation hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 500x500x210 mm dimensions accommodate your specific electrical components.
• Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the steel enclosure and internal equipment.
• Confirm that the IP66 rating meets the environmental requirements of your installation site.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the door seal and locking mechanism to maintain the IP66 protection rating. Ensure that all cable entries are properly sealed with appropriate cable glands to prevent moisture ingress.
