Description
Operating Shafts for Pistol Handles
Operating Shafts for Pistol Handles are designed for compatible disconnect-switch and rotary-handle assemblies where a door-mounted pistol handle must connect to an internal operating mechanism. These shafts provide the mechanical link between the external handle and the compatible switching device inside the enclosure.
Small details.
Big decisions.
Look beyond the product name. These four checks help narrow the right configuration.
MISSION.A little precision. A smarter selection.
150 mm / 5.9 in
Select OXP6X150 when the compatible enclosure, handle, and switch arrangement requires a 150 mm operating shaft.
210 mm / 8.3 in
Select OXP6X210 when the compatible installation requires a longer 210 mm operating shaft.
Handle Connection
The shaft connects the external pistol handle to the compatible internal disconnect or switch mechanism.
Rotary Motion Transfer
Rotary movement from the door-mounted handle is transmitted through the shaft to operate the internal switching device.
Before you select
Match the equipment. Check the fit.Required Length
Select 150 mm or 210 mm according to the handle and switch arrangement. Verify the actual enclosure depth and installation geometry.
Operating Assembly
Match the shaft catalog number to the approved pistol handle and switching mechanism. Do not assume universal compatibility.
Travel & Clearance
Confirm alignment, full operating travel and door clearance. Follow the specified installation requirements for the complete mechanism.

Important Product Questions
Can I select the shaft using enclosure depth alone?
No. Also account for the handle position, switch mounting and engagement required by the operating mechanism. Confirm the exact compatible assembly.
What distinguishes OXP6X150 from OXP6X210?
The listed lengths are 150 mm and 210 mm respectively. Select the length required for the approved handle-to-switch arrangement.
Can a similar-looking shaft replace either model?
Do not assume interchangeability. Match the interface, required length and manufacturer-approved handle and switch configuration.
Important Model Distinction
Shaft length and operating-mechanism compatibility determine the correct selection. Confirm the complete handle, shaft, switch and enclosure arrangement.
