Eaton SF320SH5X5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How long is the Eaton SF320 shaft extension, and will it reach from my enclosure door to a switch mounted on the back plate?
The extension is 320 mm (12.6 in.) long. Measure from the face of the enclosure door to the top of the disconnect's shaft boss; if that distance is within 12.6 inches, this extension covers it. Shafts of this type are cut or set to the needed depth at assembly, so the 320 mm figure is the maximum reach you are working with.
2) What is the difference between the SF320SH5X5 and the SF320PH10X10 shaft extensions?
Both are 320 mm shafts, but they are matched to different disconnect sizes. The SF320SH5X5 is the 16 to 100 ampere version, sized for the smaller SH0/SH00 handle assemblies. The SF320PH10X10 covers 100 to 400 amperes, for the larger frame switches. Pick by the ampere rating of the disconnect you are operating, not by the enclosure.
3) What does the Eaton R5/R9 shaft extension actually do in a disconnect assembly?
It links an external operator handle to the rotary disconnect mechanism, carrying the turning motion from a door- or wall-mounted handle back to the switch body. You use it when the handle cannot sit directly on top of the switch, for example when the disconnect is set deep in an enclosure or offset from the operator position. The extension transfers torque and keeps the handle and internal shaft in alignment.
4) Does the Eaton shaft extension come with the external handle, or do I order that separately?
The shaft extension is the linkage only. The SH0/SH00 external operator handle and the disconnect switch itself are separate items. On a retrofit where you are moving an existing handle further from the switch body, the shaft may be all you need; on a new panel build, plan on the switch, the handle, and the shaft as three line items.
5) Can I use one shaft extension on both a small and a large Eaton rotary disconnect to standardize my panel builds?
No. Even though both versions are 320 mm long, the shaft ends differ by switch frame: SF320SH5X5 for 16 to 100 ampere disconnects and SF320PH10X10 for 100 to 400 ampere disconnects. Standardize on the length across your builds if you like, but stock both part numbers if your panels span both amperage bands.
6) Where is an Eaton rotary disconnect shaft extension typically used?
Panel builder and OEM enclosure work, motor control and protection assemblies, industrial switchgear, and retrofits where an external handle operator is being added to an existing rotary disconnect. Anywhere the handle ends up away from the switch body, the shaft is what makes the through-the-door operation work.
