VX8618.530 Rittal Top mounting module WD: 1200x600mm
Rittal VX8618.530 sheet steel top mounting module measuring 1200 mm wide × 200 mm high × 600 mm deep provides additional installation space above compatible VX enclosures while supporting IP55 protection when correctly installed.
Why Choose the Rittal VX8618.530 Top Mounting Module?
The Rittal VX8618.530 is a top mounting module for Rittal VX enclosure systems, designed to provide additional installation space above the main enclosure. With dimensions of 1200 mm wide × 200 mm high × 600 mm deep, it offers a practical way to expand an enclosure configuration without increasing the footprint of the cabinet installation.
Manufactured from robust sheet steel and finished in RAL 7035, the VX8618.530 integrates with compatible VX enclosures to create a coordinated industrial enclosure system. The additional upper compartment can accommodate equipment or support installation requirements that benefit from separation from the main enclosure interior.
When correctly installed as part of the appropriate VX enclosure configuration, the top mounting module supports an IP55 protection category. Its 1200 mm × 600 mm footprint makes it suitable for corresponding VX enclosure dimensions, while the modular design supports professional electrical, automation and control-panel installations.

Additional Top-Mounted Installation Space for VX Enclosures
A top mounting module allows additional equipment space to be incorporated into an enclosure system while retaining the original cabinet footprint. The Rittal VX8618.530 adds a 200 mm high compartment across a 1200 mm × 600 mm enclosure footprint, making it useful where supplementary components need to be accommodated without selecting a larger floor-standing enclosure.
The separate upper compartment can also support more structured system layouts by allowing selected equipment to be positioned away from the primary mounting area. Combined with its sheet steel construction and coordinated Rittal VX design, the VX8618.530 provides panel builders and system integrators with a practical method of expanding enclosure capacity while maintaining a professional modular installation.
Typical Applications
