2TLA050040R0501 ABB MKey Slide Lock Right Handle

Why Choose the ABB 2TLA050040R0501 MKey Slide Lock Right?

The ABB 2TLA050040R0501 MKey Slide Lock Right is a robust right-hand slide lock handle designed for use with ABB MKey safety interlock switches on industrial machine guards. Part of the ABB MKey safety switch accessory range, it provides a mechanical slide-lock arrangement for controlling access through guarded doors while correctly operating the associated safety interlock.

Designed specifically for ABB MKey8 and MKey9 safety switches, the MKey Slide Lock Right is suitable for machine guarding applications where a right-hand configuration is required. Its rugged metal construction is designed to withstand shearing forces of up to 10,000 N, making it particularly suitable for substantial hinged guard doors and demanding industrial environments.

The slide lock can be combined with dedicated ABB accessories to suit the guarding arrangement. An optional rear handle can be fitted where the door must be opened from inside the guarded area, while an optional spring-loaded catch helps prevent accidental movement of the slide lock after the handle has been opened.

Robust Guard Door Operation for MKey Safety Systems

ABB MKey safety interlock switches are used to monitor movable guards around potentially hazardous machinery. The MKey Slide Lock Right provides a robust mechanical interface between a compatible guard door and the MKey8 or MKey9 interlock, helping create a practical operating arrangement for industrial machine access points.

Its metal construction provides resistance to shearing forces of up to 10,000 N, making the slide lock suitable for large hinged doors where substantial mechanical strength is required. The dedicated right-hand layout allows the slide lock to be matched to the orientation of the machine guard and installation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guarding systems.
• Large hinged machine guard doors.
• ABB MKey8 safety interlock installations.
• ABB MKey9 safety interlock installations.
• Automated manufacturing machinery.
• Robotic and production cells.
• Material handling and processing equipment.
• Guarded access points around hazardous machinery.
