- Manufactured by Allen-Bradley, a trusted brand in industrial automation and control
- Durable construction suitable for frequent operator engagement in industrial settings
- Compatible with Allen-Bradley disconnect switches and switching devices
- Standard mounting hardware for integration with existing equipment
Technical Specifications
The B-37580 operates as a mechanical actuator for switching devices. Installation typically involves screw mounting to the switch body or panel surface. The lever design enables positive mechanical engagement with internal switch contacts, ensuring reliable operation across industrial duty cycles.
Typical Applications
- Disconnect switches and isolating switches in industrial control panels
- Motor control center (MCC) cubicles and switchgear
- Power distribution equipment requiring manual isolation
- Machine tool electrical cabinets and automation systems
- Industrial facilities requiring positive disconnect functionality
Compatibility & Replacements
The B-37580 is an original Allen-Bradley component designed for specific switch models within the Allen-Bradley product portfolio. When sourcing replacements or compatible handles for other switches, verify the mounting interface, lever length, and actuation torque requirements with the host switch’s technical documentation. Users integrating this handle into control systems should consult the relevant switch assembly drawings or contact Rockwell Automation technical support to confirm compatibility with specific disconnect or switching equipment models.
