Why Choose the ABB 2TLA050040R0204 Stainless Steel Flexible Key?
The ABB 2TLA050040R0204, also known as the MKey Key 6, is a robust stainless steel flexible actuator key for ABB MKey safety interlock switches. Designed for machine guarding applications, it provides the mechanical actuator required by compatible MKey switches to monitor the closed position of guards, doors and access hatches.
This heavy-duty actuator combines a 316 stainless steel key with a stainless steel housing, providing excellent durability and corrosion resistance for demanding industrial environments. The stainless steel construction makes the MKey Key 6 particularly suitable where robust construction, frequent cleaning or resistance to environmental conditions is important.
Its flexible actuator design is particularly useful for hinged doors and hatches with smaller opening radii, helping accommodate movement between the guard and interlock switch. ABB identifies flexible MKey keys as suitable for doors and hatches with opening radii of approximately 100–175 mm, providing greater installation flexibility than a conventional rigid actuator.

Reliable Stainless Steel Actuation for Machine Safety
Safety interlock switches are used to monitor movable guards, doors and access hatches on industrial machinery. When the guard is correctly closed, the actuator enters the compatible MKey switch and enables the safety control system to detect the guard position. Opening the guard withdraws the actuator so the associated safety circuit can respond appropriately.
The flexible construction of the ABB MKey Key 6 helps accommodate the movement associated with hinged guards and smaller opening radii. Combined with its 316 stainless steel key and stainless steel housing, this makes the 2TLA050040R0204 a durable actuator solution for industrial machinery where corrosion resistance and robust mechanical construction are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety guards.
- Hinged machine doors and access panels.
- Safety-interlocked access hatches.
- Food and process machinery requiring robust stainless steel components.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
