Why Choose the ABB 2TLA050040R0203 Flexible Key?
The ABB 2TLA050040R0203, also known as the MKey Key 5, is a heavy-duty flexible actuator key for ABB MKey safety interlock switches. Designed for use with machine guards, doors and access hatches, it provides the mechanical actuator required to operate compatible MKey safety switches when the guard is correctly closed.
The actuator combines a 316 stainless steel key with a robust black die-cast metal housing, providing excellent mechanical durability for industrial safety applications. Its flexible construction helps accommodate applications where guard alignment or movement makes a rigid actuator less suitable.
ABB specifies this flexible key for MKey safety switches, with compatibility across the MKey range. Flexible actuator keys are particularly useful on hinged doors and hatches with smaller opening radii, helping provide dependable engagement with the safety interlock switch in machinery guarding systems.
Key Advantages
- Genuine ABB MKey safety interlock switch actuator.
- Flexible design accommodates movement and alignment in hinged guard applications.
- 316 stainless steel key provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
- Heavy-duty die-cast metal housing for demanding industrial environments.
- Suitable for use across the ABB MKey safety switch range.
- Ideal for machine doors, guards and access hatches where a flexible actuator is preferred.
Key Features
- ABB MKey Key 5 flexible actuator.
- Manufacturer part number: 2TLA050040R0203.
- Flexible actuator design for safety interlock switches.
- Key manufactured from 316 stainless steel.
- Robust black die-cast metal housing.
- Designed for ABB MKey safety switches.
- Suitable for hinged guards, doors and access hatches.

Reliable Actuation for Machine Safety Interlocks
Safety interlock switches monitor the position of guards, doors and access panels on industrial machinery. The actuator key enters the interlock switch when the guard is closed, allowing the safety system to detect the guard position as part of the machine's protective control arrangement.
The flexible construction of the ABB MKey Key 5 makes it particularly useful where a rigid actuator may be affected by guard movement or alignment. Combined with its stainless steel key and die-cast housing, the 2TLA050040R0203 provides a durable actuator solution for industrial machinery and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety guards.
- Hinged machine doors and access panels.
- Safety interlocked access hatches.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
