Rittal AX Stainless Steel Enclosures
The Rittal AX stainless steel enclosure is a compact wall-mounted enclosure for electrical and control equipment. Rittal offers the AX stainless steel series in AISI 304 (1.4301) and AISI 316L (1.4404). AISI 304 is suitable for general industrial environments, while AISI 316L provides higher corrosion resistance for more demanding applications.
Multiple AX stainless steel models are available with different dimensions, door configurations, locking systems and protection ratings, with selected models rated up to IP66 and NEMA 4X.

Security
The slim enclosure edge and seamless PU foam seal provide protection up to IP66 and IK10.
Easy Machining & Transport Protection
The laser-resistant protective film helps prevent scratches during machining and transportation.
Easy Assembly
Tool-free door assembly allows quick installation by simply positioning the door and pressing in the hinge pin.
Straightforward Earthing
The machined keyhole simplifies mounting plate earthing with automatic potential equalisation.
Consider AX stainless steel where condensation, splash, process moisture or frequent surface cleaning makes a painted enclosure less desirable.
Use stainless steel where salts, aggressive vapours or chemical residues may reach the enclosure. Prefer 316L when chloride or chemical exposure requires higher corrosion resistance.
Confirm rain, solar load, UV exposure, temperature range, condensation control and any canopy or climate-control requirement. Stainless steel alone does not complete an outdoor specification.
Check water pressure, temperature, direction, cleaning frequency and chemical compatibility. Every gland, cut-out and accessory must preserve the required enclosure protection.
Standard AX stainless steel may suit non-product or secondary zones, but it is not automatically a Hygienic Design enclosure. For hygiene-critical or open-product zones, assess Rittal Hygienic Design construction and the applicable sanitation standard.
If there is no credible corrosion, hygiene or washdown risk, Carbon Steel AX may provide the required wall-mounted platform and protection rating at lower material cost.
Use this quick comparison to identify the AX enclosure configuration that best matches your application before reviewing individual model sizes and specifications.

Stainless steel grade and approvals may vary by article number. Open the individual AX model page or verify the exact article number before ordering.
The 1302–1305 links open the corresponding manufacturer detail because no Suwiauto detail URL was present in the supplied page. Replace them with local product-detail URLs when those pages are published. Verify current approvals, protection ratings and scope of supply against the exact article number.
Choosing the right AX configuration depends on your enclosure size, installation environment, mounting requirements, and the components that need to be installed inside the enclosure.
Start by selecting the required enclosure dimensions and protection level based on the available installation space and operating conditions. Then determine the appropriate mounting method, cable entry arrangement, door configuration, and internal mounting space required for your electrical components.
Accessories should also be considered as part of the configuration. Depending on your application, you may need mounting plates, wall-mounting brackets, cable entry components, door accessories, or other AX-compatible parts. Selecting these together with the enclosure helps ensure proper fit and simplifies installation.
For outdoor, dusty, wet, or demanding industrial environments, check the required IP/NEMA protection rating as well as the enclosure material and surface finish.
If you are unsure which AX configuration fits your application, send us your required dimensions, installation environment, protection rating, mounting method, and accessory requirements. We can help identify a suitable AX enclosure and compatible accessories for your project.
| Selection factor | Stainless Steel AX | Carbon Steel AX |
|---|---|---|
| Housing and door | Brushed 1.4301/AISI 304 or 1.4404/AISI 316L stainless steel | Dipcoat-primed carbon steel with exterior powder coating, typically RAL 7035 |
| Choose it when | Moisture, cleaning, corrosive deposits or damage to paint presents a credible life-cycle risk | The installation is dry or controlled and the coating can remain intact |
| Corrosion strategy | Corrosion resistance comes from the selected stainless grade; still verify chemicals, chlorides and cleaning conditions | Protection relies on the coating system; scratches, cut edges and aggressive exposure require attention |
| Standard appearance | Brushed metallic finish | Textured light-grey painted finish |
| Hygiene | Smoother and easier to clean, but standard AX is not automatically Hygienic Design | Normally selected outside hygiene-critical zones |
| Protection | Up to IP66 and NEMA 4X, depending on exact article number and installed components | Up to IP66; NEMA/type rating differs from stainless models and must be checked by article number |
| Commercial trade-off | Higher purchase cost may be justified by corrosion risk and cleaning duty | Usually the economical choice where stainless performance is not required |
Before choosing an AX stainless steel enclosure, check more than the external W × H × D dimensions. The usable mounting area, internal component depth, cable routing space and accessory installation requirements can all affect whether a model is suitable for the application.
Check the usable mounting area.
Compare the mounting plate dimensions with the actual space required for PLCs, power supplies, terminals, contactors, drives and wiring ducts. Allow additional clearance for installation, maintenance and future expansion.
Allow for component and wiring depth.
Do not compare the nominal enclosure depth directly with component depth. Leave sufficient space for terminals, cable bends, connectors, DIN rails and any equipment mounted on the inside of the door.
Confirm cable entry requirements.
Consider the number, size and entry direction of incoming cables before selecting the enclosure. Cable glands, sealing inserts and cable-entry accessories may require additional installation space.
Verify mounting and accessory compatibility.
AX accessories are not always selected only by series name. Compatibility may depend on enclosure width, height, depth, mounting position and the exact AX article number.
Check the installation environment.
Confirm the required IP/NEMA protection level and choose the stainless steel grade according to the operating environment. AISI 304 is generally suitable for standard industrial conditions, while AISI 316L should be considered where higher corrosion resistance is required.
Confirm the scope of supply before ordering.
Mounting plates, wall-mounting brackets, cable-entry components and other accessories may differ by article number. Review the individual AX model page or provide the article number before placing an order.




If you are unsure which AX model fits your project, send us the required enclosure size, installed components, operating environment and accessory requirements. We can help verify the model and compatible accessories before quotation.
| Selection factor | AISI 304 | AISI 316L |
| Corrosion resistance | Good corrosion resistance for general industrial environments | Higher corrosion resistance for more demanding environments |
| Typical use | General industrial applications | Chemical, marine or other corrosive environments |
| Material grade | 1.4301 | 1.4404 |
| Selection priority | Cost-effective choice for standard conditions | Preferred when higher corrosion resistance is required |
AISI 304 is generally suitable for standard industrial environments, while AISI 316L should be considered where higher corrosion resistance is required. The correct material should be selected according to the installation environment and the specification of the exact AX article number.
The certification and technical-document links below are retained for buyer reference. Because approvals and documentation can vary by AX article number, verify the exact model and applicable document before ordering.
The base enclosure is supplied as an assembly platform, not as a finished control panel. Use the exact article number to verify the final scope.
Stainless steel enclosure housing
Door or doors with all-round foamed-in PU seal
Zinc-plated carbon-steel mounting plate
Standard lock arrangement with 3 mm double-bit insert
Door opening angle of approximately 130°, subject to model
