Why Choose the ABB MKEY Lockout Actuator?
The ABB MKEY Lockout Actuator (2TLA050040R0401) is a dedicated maintenance lockout actuator key for ABB MKey safety switches. Designed for machinery servicing and maintenance procedures, it is inserted into the MKey switch in place of the normal guard actuator to help prevent the machine guard from being returned to its normal operating condition while maintenance work is taking place.
A key advantage of this accessory is its broad compatibility: ABB specifies the lockout actuator as compatible with all MKey safety switches. The actuator incorporates multiple padlock holes, allowing maintenance personnel to apply personal padlocks as part of an appropriate lockout procedure and helping prevent unintended machine restart before those locks have been removed.
The MKEY Lockout Actuator is a mechanical safety-switch accessory and requires no electrical supply or wiring. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, an organisation's established isolation and lockout procedures, providing a purpose-designed means of controlling access to compatible ABB MKey guard switches during servicing.

Reliable Maintenance Lockout for ABB MKey Safety Switches
During machine servicing, personnel may need to prevent a guard interlock from being returned to its normal operating state before work has been completed. The ABB MKEY Lockout Actuator provides a dedicated accessory for this purpose. When used with a compatible MKey safety switch, its multiple padlock holes allow the actuator to be secured as part of the site's defined maintenance lockout procedure.
The lockout actuator is not a substitute for electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic or other required energy-isolation measures. Instead, it provides an additional mechanical lockout facility at the MKey guard switch and should be used as part of the machine's documented safety and maintenance procedure.
Typical Applications
- Maintenance lockout of ABB MKey safety switches.
- Industrial machine servicing and repair.
- Planned maintenance of guarded machinery.
- Machine inspection and commissioning activities.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.
- Packaging, processing and material handling machinery.
- Machine-safety maintenance and lockout procedures.
