Why Choose the Rittal VX 8640.001 Base/Plinth Corner Piece Set?
The Rittal VX 8640.001 is a heavy-duty 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 is engineered for high load capacity and straightforward installation beneath floor-standing electrical and automation enclosures.
The base/plinth corner pieces incorporate moulded self-positioning to the enclosure, simplifying alignment during assembly. Depending on the application, the corner pieces may be used with or without the trim panels. Large openings provide convenient access to screw-fastening points during installation, while the supplied plastic corner and baying covers conceal these openings for a clean finished appearance.
With a height of 100 mm and compatibility with enclosures measuring 400 mm in width, the VX 8640.001 uses sheet steel for both the corner pieces and front/rear trim panels. Its RAL 9005 black finish complements Rittal enclosure installations and provides a professional base for industrial cabinet systems.
