LOVATO Electric GAX7150AN Extension Shaft for GAX66N, GAX66NB and GAX6001 Handles, 150mm

The LOVATO Electric GAX7150AN is a precision-engineered 150mm extension shaft designed to facilitate the operation of rotary handle mechanisms within electrical panels. This component serves as a critical link between the switch disconnector mounted inside an enclosure and the external handle, ensuring that the mechanism can be operated safely and effectively from the outside of the cabinet door. Built to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this shaft provides the structural integrity required for consistent performance in electrical distribution systems.

Advantages

This extension shaft offers exceptional durability and reliability, ensuring that the rotary handle mechanism functions smoothly over extended periods of use. Its robust construction allows for precise alignment between the internal switch and the external handle, which is essential for maintaining the safety and operational standards of electrical control panels. By providing the necessary reach, it simplifies the installation process in enclosures of varying depths, making it a versatile solution for professional electrical assembly.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panel configurations
• Electrical distribution systems
• Switch disconnector installations in deep enclosures
• Retrofitting or upgrading existing rotary handle mechanisms

When it may not be suitable

This extension shaft is specifically designed for compatibility with the GAX66N, GAX66NB, and GAX6001 series handles. It is not suitable for use with other handle series or different brands of switch disconnectors, as the mechanical coupling may not align correctly.

Key specifications

• Length: 150mm
• Compatibility: GAX66N, GAX66NB, and GAX6001 series handles
• Material: Industrial-grade rigid construction
• Application: Rotary handle mechanism extension

How to use

To install the extension shaft, first ensure that the electrical power supply is disconnected and the enclosure is safe to work on. Insert the shaft into the designated coupling point on the switch disconnector mechanism located inside the enclosure. Secure the shaft firmly according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific handle model being used. Once the shaft is locked in place, attach the external rotary handle to the other end of the shaft through the cabinet door, ensuring that the handle rotates freely and engages the switch mechanism correctly before closing the door.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the depth of your electrical enclosure to ensure 150mm is the correct length required.
• Confirm that your handle model is part of the GAX66N, GAX66NB, or GAX6001 series.
• Check the alignment requirements of your specific switch disconnector.

Usage recommendations

Always verify that the shaft is fully seated and secured within the coupling mechanism to prevent slippage or mechanical failure during operation. Regular inspection of the handle and shaft assembly is recommended during routine maintenance of the electrical panel.
