Brushed finish (grain 400) for a clean, professional appearance
Accessory-ready: handles, inserts, brackets, roof, viewing windows, fan/filter units, heaters, etc.

Selection note: Choose stainless steel when corrosion resistance, hygiene, or outdoor/harsh conditions are critical, then size the enclosure for wiring space, heat dissipation, and service access.

Which AX stainless steel enclosure variants are available (and how do I compare them)?

Below is a practical, spec-style overview for an example AX stainless steel enclosure variant. Use it as a baseline for comparing sizes, door options, and protection ratings.

Definition: IP55 indicates protection against dust ingress (limited) and water jets from any direction (per IEC 60529).

Variant	Dimensions (W×H×D)	Doors	Protection	Materials / Notes
AX 1019.000 Basic enclosure AX, stainless steel	1000 × 1200 × 300 mm	2	IP55 / IK10 NEMA 1 / NEMA 12 (per listing)	Enclosure & door: Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) Mounting plate: zinc-plated sheet steel; 3-point lock system

Selection guidance: confirm the required installation space, door access, and protection rating for your environment—then choose accessories (handles, inserts, mounting components, climate control, and wiring management) to complete the build.

Where are stainless steel enclosures typically used?

Stainless steel enclosures are commonly used to protect electrical and automation components where corrosion, moisture, or frequent cleaning can damage standard painted steel housings.

Typical applications

Food & beverage areas requiring frequent washdown and hygienic surfaces
Marine/coastal or chemical environments where corrosion resistance is critical
Machine-mounted control points and distributed I/O protection
Utility/plant installations needing robust sealing and impact protection

Why teams choose AX stainless steel

Faster build thanks to the integral locator system (reduced drilling work)
Reliable protection with IP55 sealing and IK10 robustness
Clean finish with brushed stainless steel surfaces
Scalable platform for accessories and climate control add-ons

Short definition: An industrial enclosure protects electrical equipment from dust, water, impacts, and unauthorized access—helping improve safety and system availability.

FAQ: AX stainless steel basic enclosure

Clear answers that help engineers and panel builders select and configure the right enclosure.

It supports fast, repeatable interior configuration (e.g., rails, accessories, mounting options) with reduced drilling effort—helping speed up assembly and standardize layouts.

IP ratings (IEC) describe protection against solids and water ingress (e.g., IP55). NEMA ratings (North America) also consider application and environmental conditions (e.g., NEMA 12). Always verify the rating required by your project standard and location.

Stainless steel is often preferred for corrosion resistance, cleanability, and durability in humid, coastal, chemical, or hygienic environments where painted surfaces may degrade.

Confirm component envelope, wiring space, service clearance, door access (single vs. two-door), and whether you will add accessories such as climate control, viewing windows, or mounting systems.
