The article AX 2533100 from Rittal is a plastic handle for cam locks of type AX and KX. It serves as an alternative to the standard lock insert and is supplied without an integrated safety cylinder insert. The handle is specifically designed for use in industrial enclosures and housings, where secure yet simple operation of locks is required. It enables opening and closing of enclosure doors without additional tools, with installation onto existing lock mechanisms.

Applications

The handle is suitable for use in industrial plants, such as in automation technology, electrical engineering, or manufacturing technology. It is used in enclosures and housings equipped with cam locks of type AX or KX. Usage follows project-specific material release lists of the respective brand, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. Version A is designed for standard applications where no additional safety cylinder is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The handle consists of a housing made of glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide, providing high mechanical strength and resistance to chemical influences. The latching nose is made of plastic and is compatible with the lock mechanisms of AX and KX systems. The sealing made of PU (polyurethane) ensures a tight seal to keep moisture and dust out of the enclosure interior. The clamp piece made of galvanized steel sheet ensures stable fixation to the lock. The handle's colour is RAL 9011, a neutral grey tone that integrates well visually in industrial environments.

Technology Explained Simply

The handle is used as a replacement for the standard lock insert, which is often equipped with a safety cylinder. However, this article provides no integrated safety cylinder insert, serving purely as an operating element. The construction from glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide ensures high strength with low weight. The PU sealing ensures a tight seal, which is particularly advantageous in environments with high humidity or dust exposure. The galvanized steel sheet of the clamp piece offers corrosion protection and mechanical stability.

Compatibility and Accessories

The handle is compatible with cam locks of type AX and KX. It is designed as a replacement for the standard lock insert and can be directly mounted onto existing lock mechanisms. Usage follows project-specific material release lists, ensuring compliance with standards and safety requirements.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting is carried out on existing AX or KX locks. The handle is attached to the lock via the latching nose and clamp piece. The mounting screw is included in the delivery scope. Installation does not require special tools, although correct alignment of the latching nose and clamp piece is necessary to ensure reliable function. Mounting is typically done without additional tools, as the lock mechanism is pre-fabricated.

Operational Advantages

The handle offers simple and reliable operation of enclosure doors. The use of glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide ensures long service life and high load capacity. The PU sealing protects the interior of the enclosure from environmental influences. The RAL 9011 colour allows visual harmonization with other components in the enclosure. Since no safety cylinder is integrated, the handle is suitable for applications where no additional access control is required.

Delivery Scope
