Claw Interlock KC

The KC Lock is a key operated mechanical bolt interlock suitable for the control electrical switchgear.

The standard unit comes with a 16mm diameter bolt fitted with a claw, that is used to control the rotation or movement of operating handles or toggles of electrical switchgear. The bolt length and claw dimensions are variable to suit the particular requirement.

The lock is manufactured in brass or stainless steel making it ideally suited to use in harsh or corrosive environments.

This example shows how to interlock switchgear using the KC claw lock. The same principle can be applied to a number of different applications such as valving or mechanical linkage for machinery applications. In the normal 'locked off' operating condition, the claw is extended and the key is free. Inserting and turning the key releases the claw. In this condition, the key remains trapped and the claw cannot be re-extended.
