This keeps the inventory of the smaller
parts to a minimum, and there is no need
for machining, such drilling, etc.

Safety is a high priority for all Rittal
enclosures. Installing components into
the AX and KX leaves their protection
category unaltered and the same is also
true of their UL certification, which is
essential for deployment on the North
American market. Overall, the new design
features make the compact enclosures
more robust, and ensure greater
resistance in particular to dynamic loads.
SUITABLE FOR MANY
REQUIREMENTS
The new product lines provide answers to
many varied needs.
KX small enclosures (from 150 mm x
150 mm x 80 mm) are ideal if only a few
components are to be housed in terminal
boxes and bus enclosures.
The wall mounting bracket can be
quickly screwed into place from the
outside of the enclosure, without
impacting the enclosure’s protection
rating.
This substantially reduces the risk of
damage during transit as the brackets,
which protrude beyond the sides of the
enclosure, can be attached on-site at the
final destination.
The AX and KX are more spacious than
their predecessors, the AE, CM, KL, EB and
BG enclosures.
The rising number of sensors and
actuators being deployed in the
switchgear industry is, in turn, raising the
quantity of cables to be housed. The new
enclosure’s modular design - along with
improved cut-outs and larger gland plates
- creates (on average) a third more space
for cables. In addition, integrated locators
in the side panels enables the simple,
precise and time-saving incorporation of
interior installation rails.
As the rails have a 25mm spacing
(pitch pattern) the AX and KX can use
accessories from the VX25 portfolio, such
as lights or terminal blocks.
AX compact enclosures are between 120
mm and 400 mm deep, with a maximum
size of 1,000 mm x 1,400 mm.
For all models, there is a choice of
spray-finished sheet steel or stainless
steel. Despite the greater number of
potential use cases, the total number
of components and accessories, and as
a result complexity, has been markedly
reduced.
