Eaton Drive Shaft Extension for Dumeco DMV 160N Switch-Disconnectors 6 x 270mm

The Eaton drive shaft extension is a precision-engineered component designed specifically for integration with Dumeco DMV 160N switch-disconnectors. This 6 x 270mm shaft extension serves as a critical link in electrical switchgear assemblies, enabling the remote operation of the switch-disconnector by extending the reach of the handle to the enclosure door or panel front. By providing a robust mechanical connection, it ensures that the switch-disconnector operates reliably and safely within industrial power distribution systems.

Advantages

This drive shaft extension offers significant flexibility during the installation of electrical panels. Its robust construction ensures that the operating handle remains properly aligned with the switch-disconnector mechanism, even in complex or deep enclosure configurations. The component is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial standards, providing long-term durability and consistent performance in demanding electrical environments. By facilitating easier access to the control handle, it enhances the overall ergonomics and safety of the switchgear assembly.

Suitable for

• Electrical switchgear and control panel assemblies
• Industrial power distribution systems
• Applications requiring remote handle operation for DMV 160N switches
• Retrofitting or extending existing switch-disconnector installations

This component is not suitable for use with switch-disconnectors outside of the Dumeco DMV 160N series. It is also not intended for applications where the required shaft length exceeds the 270mm specification or where the mechanical load exceeds the design parameters of the switch-disconnector mechanism.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: Dumeco DMV 160N switch-disconnectors
• Shaft profile: 6mm square
• Length: 270mm
• Material: Industrial-grade metal

To install the drive shaft extension, first ensure that the electrical system is completely de-energized. Insert the shaft into the coupling mechanism of the Dumeco DMV 160N switch-disconnector and secure it according to the manufacturer's assembly instructions. Once the shaft is firmly in place, attach the operating handle to the external end of the extension, ensuring that the handle movement corresponds correctly to the switch position. Verify the mechanical alignment and test the operation of the switch before restoring power to the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your switch-disconnector model is a Dumeco DMV 160N
• Measure the required distance between the switch and the enclosure door
• Ensure the 6mm square profile matches your existing handle coupling

Always verify that the shaft is fully seated and secured within the coupling before operating the switch-disconnector to prevent mechanical failure or misalignment.
