ABB OXP6X290 fixed-length operating shaft with a 6 × 6 mm square profile and 290 mm length, designed for compatible ABB switching devices and pistol operating handles.
£8.61
The ABB OXP6X290 is a genuine 6 mm square operating shaft designed to connect compatible ABB switching devices to an enclosure-mounted pistol operating handle. Its fixed 290 mm length makes it suitable for control panels and switchboards where the switching mechanism is positioned deeper inside the enclosure.
The shaft transfers rotary movement from the external handle to the switch mechanism, allowing the electrical device to be operated while the enclosure remains closed. Its rigid 6 × 6 mm square profile provides positive mechanical engagement and dependable torque transmission during switching operations.
Manufactured as an original ABB accessory, the OXP6X290 is intended for compatible ABB switch-disconnectors, change-over switches and switch fuses that use a 6 mm operating-shaft interface. Correct selection helps maintain accurate alignment between the handle and switching device, supporting smooth operation and reliable panel assembly.
The ABB OXP6X290 forms the mechanical link between an external operating handle and a compatible switching device mounted inside an enclosure. When the handle is turned, the square shaft transfers the movement directly to the switch mechanism, enabling reliable operation without opening the cabinet door.
Selecting the correct shaft size and length is important for maintaining proper alignment and avoiding unnecessary mechanical stress. The OXP6X290 should therefore be matched to the intended ABB switch, operating handle and enclosure mounting depth before installation.

The OXP6X290 connects a compatible ABB switching device to an external pistol operating handle, enabling the switch to be operated from outside an electrical enclosure.
The operating shaft has a 6 × 6 mm square profile and an overall length of 290 mm.
No. The OXP6X290 is supplied as a fixed-length 290 mm shaft. The required enclosure depth and mounting arrangement should be checked before ordering.
It is intended for compatible ABB pistol operating handles that accept a 6 mm square shaft. The exact handle and switch combination should be verified using ABB compatibility information.
The shaft is used with compatible ABB switch-disconnectors, change-over switches and switch fuses requiring a 6 mm operating shaft. Compatibility depends on the exact switch frame, handle and enclosure arrangement.
ABB operating shafts are widely used by panel builders, OEM manufacturers and electrical engineers to provide accurate handle alignment, positive torque transmission and dependable external operation of enclosed switching devices.
