Rittal AX 1016000 stainless steel enclosure, 800 × 1000 × 300 mm, with 745 × 975 mm mounting plate. View specifications, accessories and availability.

Rittal AX 1016000 is an 800 × 1000 × 300 mm stainless steel enclosure with a 745 × 975 mm mounting plate. Its large single-door format provides space for multiple functional equipment sections, extensive cable routing and larger control assemblies while retaining a 300 mm enclosure depth. At this size, enclosure selection should consider not only whether the components fit, but also equipment zoning, wiring routes, service access and the final installed weight of the complete assembly.

AX Stainless Steel Model Comparison
| Model | Enclosure Size (W × H × D) | Mounting Plate (W × H) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AX 1014000 | 760 × 760 × 300 mm | 705 × 735 mm | Consider when approximately 700 mm of mounting width is sufficient and the component groups, terminals and wiring routes can still be organised within 735 mm of mounting height |
| AX 1016000 | 800 × 1000 × 300 mm | 745 × 975 mm | Adds substantial vertical mounting capacity while retaining a similar mounting width and the same 300 mm enclosure depth |
| AX 1018000 | 1000 × 1000 × 300 mm | 945 × 975 mm | Consider when the 975 mm mounting height is appropriate but the layout also requires substantially more horizontal mounting area and a two-door enclosure format |
AX 1016000 is particularly relevant when mounting height, rather than depth or a major increase in width, has become the main layout constraint. Compared with AX 1014000, enclosure depth remains 300 mm, while mounting width increases only from 705 to 745 mm. The significant change is mounting height, which increases from 735 to 975 mm.
This additional vertical area can be useful when terminal rows, control devices, power equipment and wiring ducts can no longer be arranged with practical separation within 735 mm of mounting height. The decision should therefore be based on whether the extra 240 mm allows clearer component zoning, continuous wiring routes and sufficient service access—not simply whether more components can be fitted onto the plate.
If the planned layout already works within the 705 × 735 mm mounting plate of AX 1014000, moving to a 1000 mm-high enclosure may provide little practical benefit. If 975 mm of mounting height is appropriate but 745 mm of mounting width becomes the next constraint, AX 1018000 provides a 945 × 975 mm mounting plate and moves the enclosure into a wider two-door configuration.
Before Ordering AX 1016000
1. Build the layout around functional sections, not individual components
With a 745 × 975 mm mounting plate, placing components individually from top to bottom can result in long, inefficient wiring routes. Define the power, control, communication and terminal sections first, then position individual devices within those zones.
2. Decide where field wiring will enter before filling the lower mounting area
On a 1000 mm-high enclosure, the position of incoming and outgoing cables can significantly affect internal routing. Reserve the required cable-entry and termination area before using the lower section of the mounting plate for equipment.
3. Keep frequently serviced equipment within a practical working zone
The 975 mm mounting-plate height allows equipment to be installed over a large vertical range. Devices requiring adjustment, testing, fuse replacement or regular terminal access should not be positioned solely according to available space; consider their accessibility after the enclosure is mounted.
4. Check whether one large enclosure is preferable to separated assemblies
A single large mounting plate can simplify system consolidation, but it can also increase wiring concentration and make future modifications more involved. Consider whether the project benefits from keeping the functions together or whether separate enclosure sections would provide easier installation and servicing.
5. Calculate the completed assembly weight before selecting wall fixings
This is particularly important for1016000.
The empty AX 1016000 already weighs 50.3 kg net.
The enclosure weight should not be used as the final wall-loading value. Add the mounting plate equipment, cable, door-mounted devices and installation hardware when evaluating the completed assembly. Verify the supporting structure, mounting hardware and handling method for the finished cabinet rather than the empty enclosure alone.
Accessories for AX 1016000
Accessory selection for AX 1016000 should be verified against its 800 × 1000 × 300 mm configuration. Width- and height-dependent installation components must match the larger enclosure format, while rails and other depth-dependent parts should be checked for the 300 mm depth. Because the completed enclosure may carry substantially more equipment and wiring than smaller AX models, interior installation, cable management, thermal management and mounting hardware should be planned as part of the complete cabinet design.

FAQ
Q1: When is AX 1016000 more appropriate than AX 1014000?
A: AX 1016000 is more appropriate when the control layout requires additional space to separate several functional sections rather than simply accommodate a few more components. Its 745 × 975 mm mounting plate provides substantially more vertical working area for equipment levels, terminal sections and cable distribution than the smaller 760 × 760 mm format.
Q2: Should all of the available mounting plate area be filled with equipment?
A: No. On a large mounting plate, unused space can be valuable for wiring ducts, conductor bends, component access and future servicing. Filling the plate simply because space is available can make a large enclosure difficult to wire and maintain.
Q3: What should I consider before wall-mounting AX 1016000?
A: The empty enclosure has a net weight of approximately 50.3 kg. The final installation will also include electrical equipment, wiring and accessories, so the supporting structure, mounting hardware and handling method should be evaluated for the completed assembly.
Q4: Where can I buy AX 1016000?
A: Please contact SuwiAuto to purchase Rittal AX 1016000 / 1016.000. We can check availability, provide a quotation and help confirm compatible accessories for your order.
