Product Description:

The 5AC800.FLG1-00 is an accessory supplied by B & R Automation within the 5AC CNC Addon Modules series. It is an extension flange that provides a mechanical interface between an Automation Panel 800 operator terminal and the articulated support arm mounted on the machine frame. The unit forms a sealed, load-bearing junction that helps position the control panel at a comfortable viewing height. It also preserves cable routing space, helps protect panel electronics from vibration transmitted through the arm, and gives the panel a stable mounting point when the arm is extended or rotated during normal machine operation.

As an Extension Flange, its flat rear face seats against the support arm collar. The die-cast body uses alloy grade ADC12, which provides consistent wall thickness, low porosity, and suitable tensile strength for repeated swiveling. A profile depth of 71 mm creates the offset between the panel housing and the arm, leaving room for cable glands. The part is 140 mm wide, which matches the panel base, and it adds only 600 g to the moving mass of the assembly. That offset also helps separate the enclosure from the pivot area so cables can bend more naturally during movement.

The body is made of aluminum, which limits surface oxidation and supports grounding continuity with the cabinet. It is drilled and tapped for the Support Arm System, so field modifications are not required during installation. Electrical and mechanical clearances align with the harness exit of the Automation Panel 800, allowing the display enclosure to hinge without pinching cables. That alignment helps keep the cable path smooth as the panel is opened for service or adjusted during use. Each fastening point is sized for M6 hardware, and the part uses the same finish and tolerances as other 5AC accessories, helping it blend with adjacent mounting parts on the arm assembly.
