The Schneider GS2AE81 is a 400 mm shaft extension designed for compatible 30 A and 32 A switch-disconnectors. Part of the TeSys GS range, this mechanical control accessory connects an external operating handle to the switch mechanism, allowing operation from the front or side of an enclosure.
Its 5 × 5 mm square cross-section provides the specified fit for compatible mechanisms, while the shaft can be cut to suit the installation’s required length. The GS2AE81 is compatible with TeSys GS GS1D and GS2D devices, as well as FuPacT GS GSB32 and GSC32 models. It is suited to control panel assemblies requiring an extended connection between the handle and switch.

What is this shaft extension used for?
This shaft extension provides the mechanical connection between an external operating handle and a compatible switch-disconnector inside an enclosure. It allows the handle to operate the switch from the enclosure door or panel.
What are the shaft dimensions?
The shaft is 400 mm long and has a square cross-section measuring 5 × 5 mm. These dimensions should be checked against the operating mechanism and the enclosure layout before selection.
Which switch ranges is the shaft compatible with?
The GS2AE81 is listed as compatible with TeSys GS GS1D and GS2D switches, as well as FuPacT GS GSB32 and GSC32 switches. Compatibility should be confirmed for the exact switch and external handle combination.
What switch current ratings does this accessory suit?
This shaft extension is intended for compatible switches rated at 30 A or 32 A. These ratings refer to the associated switch, not to an electrical current carried by the shaft.
Can the shaft be shortened to suit an enclosure?
The TeSys GS catalogue states that drive shafts can be cut to the required length. The finished length must suit the distance between the switch mechanism and the external handle, allowing for the required engagement at both ends.
Is this a complete switch-disconnector assembly?
No. It is a mechanical control accessory rather than a complete switching device. A compatible switch-disconnector and external operating handle are required separately.
How much does the shaft weigh?
The published net weight of the GS2AE81 is 0.15 kg.
What should be checked when selecting a replacement shaft?
Check the exact switch model, external handle compatibility, shaft cross-section and required installed length. Matching the 400 mm length alone is not sufficient, as the shaft must also fit the operating mechanism.
- Connecting an external operating handle to a compatible 30–32 A switch-disconnector inside an electrical enclosure.
- Extending the mechanical operating connection in control cabinets where the switch is mounted away from the enclosure door.
- Enabling front-panel operation of compatible TeSys GS switch-disconnectors in industrial distribution panels.
- Providing a shaft connection for compatible right-hand side-mounted operating handles.
- Replacing a damaged or missing 5 × 5 mm operating shaft in a compatible switch-disconnector assembly.
- Allowing the 400 mm shaft to be cut to suit the required handle-to-switch distance during panel assembly.
