£12.01
The Lovato SM1X18S is a compact rod support accessory designed for use with Lovato SM1 motor protection circuit breaker door coupling handle assemblies. It provides additional support for operating rods longer than 145 mm, helping maintain reliable and stable mechanical operation through enclosure doors.
This accessory is especially useful when installing external rotary handles on deeper control panels or enclosures where a longer operating rod is required. By supporting the rod, the SM1X18S helps improve alignment, reduce flexing and maintain dependable operation of the motor protection circuit breaker from outside the panel.
Designed for the Lovato SM1 accessory system, the SM1X18S is a practical addition for panel builders, machine manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring a secure, professional door coupling installation for industrial motor control systems.
External door coupling handles allow motor protection circuit breakers to be operated from outside an enclosure. When a longer operating rod is used, additional support may be required to maintain correct alignment between the handle and the internal switching device.
The Lovato SM1X18S provides this support for rods longer than 145 mm, helping improve operational stability and supporting a reliable mechanical link in deeper control panel installations.
