Eaton Drive Shaft Extension for CODMV250N/400N and MPDMV250N/400N Mechanisms, 10 x 400mm

The Eaton drive shaft extension is a precision-engineered component designed to extend the reach of switch mechanisms within electrical distribution systems. Specifically compatible with CODMV250N/400N and MPDMV250N/400N series mechanisms, this shaft extension measures 10 x 400mm, providing the necessary length for installations where the switchgear and the operating handle are separated by a greater distance. It ensures consistent mechanical coupling, allowing for reliable and safe operation of industrial electrical equipment.

Advantages

This extension shaft offers significant flexibility during the installation of electrical switchgear by allowing for custom positioning of the operating handle relative to the switch mechanism. Its robust construction ensures that the mechanical force is transmitted accurately, preventing slippage or misalignment during operation. By facilitating precise alignment, it helps maintain the integrity of the electrical system and ensures that the switchgear functions according to manufacturer specifications even in complex or deep enclosure configurations.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution panels
• Switchgear installations requiring extended handle reach
• Custom electrical cabinet configurations
• Maintenance and retrofitting of existing CODMV/MPDMV mechanisms

When it may not be suitable

This component is not suitable for use with switch mechanisms outside of the specified CODMV250N/400N and MPDMV250N/400N series. It should not be used in applications where the required shaft length exceeds the physical dimensions provided or where the mechanical load exceeds the design capacity of the shaft.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 10 x 400mm
• Compatibility: CODMV250N/400N and MPDMV250N/400N mechanisms
• Material: High-strength industrial steel
• Function: Mechanical drive extension

How to use

To install the drive shaft extension, first ensure that the electrical system is completely de-energized. Align the extension shaft with the existing coupling point on the switch mechanism and the operating handle. Secure the shaft firmly using the appropriate locking hardware provided with your switchgear assembly. Verify that the shaft rotates freely and that the handle position correctly corresponds to the switch state before re-energizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility with your specific switch mechanism model
• Measure the required distance between the switch and the handle to ensure 400mm is sufficient
• Check for any additional mounting hardware required for your specific enclosure

Usage recommendations

Always perform a mechanical test of the switch operation after installation to ensure smooth engagement and proper alignment before applying electrical load.
