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.
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.

The GAX18S05 is a support for shaft extensions used in compatible Lovato GA switch disconnector operating systems, helping support the shaft between the switching mechanism and door-coupled handle.
The GAX18S05 is designed for a 5 mm square shaft section, equivalent to approximately 0.2 in.
Lovato specifies the GAX18S05 as a shaft-extension support for compatible GAX7... operating shafts.
No. The GAX18S05 is a mechanical switch disconnector accessory used to support a compatible operating shaft; the switch disconnector, shaft and operating handle are separate components.
It is typically used inside industrial control panels, switchboards and machinery enclosures where a door-coupled GA switch disconnector uses a compatible 5 mm GAX7... extension shaft.
Lovato GA switch disconnectors and their coordinated operating accessories provide panel builders, OEMs and automation engineers with flexible solutions for reliable electrical isolation and professional door-coupled switch installation.
