Why Choose the Lovato GAX18S05 Shaft Support?
The Lovato GAX18S05 is a dedicated support for 5 mm square shaft extensions used with Lovato GA switch disconnectors and compatible GAX7... operating shafts. Part of the Lovato GA switch disconnector accessory range, it provides additional mechanical support for extended door-coupled operating arrangements.
Designed specifically for GAX7... shaft extensions with a 5 mm square section, the GAX18S05 helps support and align the operating shaft between a panel-mounted switch disconnector and its external door-coupling handle. This makes it particularly useful where longer shaft arrangements require additional support within an electrical enclosure.
The GAX18S05 is a purpose-designed Lovato accessory rather than a switching device itself. Its coordinated design allows it to integrate with compatible GA-series switch disconnector installations while maintaining a stable mechanical operating arrangement between the switch and enclosure-door handle.

Reliable Support for Door-Coupled Operating Shafts
Door-coupled switch disconnectors use an extension shaft to transfer movement from an external enclosure handle to the switching mechanism mounted inside the panel. Where the shaft arrangement requires additional mechanical support, a dedicated support helps maintain a stable and properly guided operating connection.
The Lovato GAX18S05 is designed specifically around the 5 mm square GAX7... shaft-extension system. Used as part of a compatible GA switch disconnector installation, it provides a coordinated solution for supporting extended shaft arrangements in industrial control panels and switchboards.
Typical Applications
- Door-coupled Lovato GA switch disconnector installations.
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Switchboards and distribution assemblies.
- Machine main-isolator operating mechanisms.
- Extended GAX7... shaft arrangements.
- OEM machinery and automation enclosures.
