Written by Rittal | Jan 13, 2026 1:00:00 AM

In a rapidly evolving industrial and IT environment, enclosure systems must offer more than protection;  they must enable flexibility, digital integration, and fast adaptation. Rittal’s new AX wall-mounted enclosure family delivers just that, with two powerful innovations:

AX Three-Part Wall-Mounted Enclosure: Versatility for Industry and IT

Designed for environments that demand accessibility, modularity, and seamless integration, the new AX three-part wall-mounted enclosure is the ideal all-rounder for control systems, networking gear, or hybrid applications.

Key advantages:

  • Full access: Opens like a fan, allowing unrestricted access from all sides for quick installation or maintenance.
  • Seamless integration with system accessories thanks to VX punchings and mounting options on a 25-mm grid.
  • Flexible IT integration: The 19" mounting level is rotatable and depth-adjustable for IT components like switches and patch panels.
  • Side-mounted climate control options: Perfect for Rittal fan-and-filter units.
  • Digital readiness: ePOCKET provides instant access to up-to-date system documentation via QR code.

This next-gen enclosure replaces the EL series and is designed for plant manufacturers and operators who value fast assembly, secure access, and system transparency.

AX Plastic Ex Enclosure: Certified Safety in Hazard Zones

For environments where explosion protection is critical such as petrochemical, energy, or dust-laden industries,  Rittal’s new AX plastic Ex enclosure sets a new benchmark for outdoor-rated safety.

Key advantages:

  • Explosion protection certified to ATEX, IECEx, and UL HazLoc for Zones 1/2/21/22.
  • Robust construction using UV-resistant, fibreglass-reinforced plastic with Class II insulation.
  • Double-sealed for outdoor use, including integral rain protection strips and IP 65 / NEMA 4X protection.
  • Flexible internal expansion with mounting on a 25-mm pitch pattern and compatibility with Rittal accessories.
  • Easy mounting and earthing, with printed pitch patterns and secure installation even on poles.

AX plastic Ex enclosures also support additional components on the door, thanks to an integrated reinforcement frame, boosting usable space without compromising safety.

Rittal continues to lead in enclosure design, combining innovation, safety, and digital integration across industrial and IT landscapes.
