2TLA050040R0511 ABB SCS GKey MKey Spring-Loaded Catch

Why Choose the ABB 2TLA050040R0511 SCS GKey MKey Spring Catch?

The ABB 2TLA050040R0511 is a genuine SCS GKey MKey spring-loaded catch designed as a handle accessory for ABB GKey slide handles and MKey slide locks. Its purpose is to help prevent a machine guard or door from being closed accidentally while the sliding handle is in the open position.

When the compatible sliding handle is open, the spring-loaded catch prevents the handle from simply being pushed back into its closed position. The operator must deliberately pull the catch before the handle can be returned to the closed position, providing a practical mechanical safeguard against unintended closure.

Designed for sliding die-cast handle arrangements, the SCS GKey MKey complements ABB GKey and MKey machine guarding systems. ABB order code 2TLA050040R0511 identifies this dedicated spring catch within the ABB Control devices product group.

Controlled Closure for Sliding Machine Guards

Industrial guard locking systems are used to control access to hazardous machinery through gates, doors and other movable guards. Where a sliding-handle arrangement is used, preventing unintended closure can be important during access, maintenance and other activities within the protected area.

The ABB SCS GKey MKey provides a spring-loaded mechanical catch for compatible sliding-handle installations. When the handle is in its open position, the catch prevents it from being pushed directly back to the closed position; the catch must first be deliberately pulled, helping reduce the possibility of accidental guard closure.

• ABB GKey sliding-handle safety installations.
• ABB MKey slide lock systems.
• Industrial safety gates and access doors.
