AX contactors -- The simplest way to get the control and performance you need
The AX contactor range offers exceptional reliability and performance in a brilliant space-saving design.
Use it for motor starting applications up to 370 A / 200 kW 400 V AC-3.


Speed-up your projects -- Simpler selection process
Speed up your projects with ABB's simpler order codes; faster identification; easier connection and a complete and flexible range of accessories.
Compliance process is faster too as AX contactors use environmentally friendly materials that comply with energy label.


Easy to install -- Faster fitting by design
ABB's smart design saves time with every detail.
AX contactors are smaller and easier to handle.
All terminals are delivered in open position so wiring is faster.
ABB's broad range provides the best configuration for the job.
Single or multiple pole blocks are no problem. Front or side mounted auxiliary contact blocks are available as well.


Continuous operation -- Proven secure trusted
Trust a proven solution from a brand with 100 years of experience in contactors design and manufacture.
ABB's AX range makes starting solutions that are more reliable - with type 2 coordination between contactors and short-circuit protection devices guaranteed.
ABB's mechanically linked contacts and mirror contact functions make control circuits safe and reliable.


Tested component combinations
Using ABB's coordination tables gives users a choice of fully tested assemblies and product combinations.
It's quicker and easier to build DOL starters; reversing starters or star delta starters using ABB's range of AX contactors; manual motor starters; molded case breakers; fuses and overload relays.


Create smart starters
AX contactors look more professional and together with connection kits they provide a better finish than cables or bus bars.


Save time
ABB starters come with connection kits to make assembly simpler and faster.
The kits save time on cable preparation and eliminate fitment and wiring error risks.


Every detail designed for you
Smart packaging design makes it simpler to identify the product you need - the product type; coil voltage; order code and bar code are all clearly displayed.
The same goes when the product is unboxed.
A quick glance at the front tells you what product contactor type and coil voltage you have.
Terminal markings are also plainly visible.
The rated values and main approvals are ready to read on the side.


Certified & trusted contactors
ABB's AX contactors are designed in compliance with IEC 60947-4-1 and GB 14048-4 requirements.
These trusted safety products have CB certification CE marking as well as CCC and CCS approval.


Easier to connect
ABB designed its AX contactors so that all screw-heads are accessible from the front.
One Pozidriv #2 screwdriver fits every contactor terminal and the complete accessory range.
All main and auxiliary terminals can take one or two cables and contactors up to AX150 have three coil terminals for connection from the top or the bottom.
Right out of the box all terminals are ready in the open position for wiring.


Environmentally sound
The design and production of ABB's AX contactor range follows ISO 14000 processes.
The raw materials are free of red phosphorous; cadmium; mercury; brominated substances (PBB; PBPE) and other pollutants.
AX contactors and main accessories also comply with the European directive ROHS 2006.
The same goes for the packaging design. The box is fully recyclable and clearly marked to aid correct disposal.


Auxiliaries made simple secure and flexible
Common interfaces that are clip-on and self-locking make mounting ABB contactors simpler.
Its AX contactor range uses the same front-mounted auxiliary for contact blocks up to AX150 and the same side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks up to AX80.
To maximize flexibility users can front-mount any single- or four-pole auxiliary contact block.
Two-pole auxiliary contact blocks can be side-mounted.


Protect control circuits and save space
ABB's AX range makes surge suppressors easy to snap on and connect.
Designing contactor coils to them fit within their overall dimensions without additional space requirements.
The smart design and proven technologies provide safe protection for circuits against over-voltages when the contactor opens.


Safe and reliable control circuits
A white contact carrier ensures the contactor state is visible at all times even with accessories mounted.
Built-in and add-on auxiliary contacts provide reliable low signal contacts for 12 V 3 mA.
Failure rates are less than 10E-6 according to IEC 60947-5-1.
Mechanically linked functions are available with 4-pole blocks CA5X.
Mirror contacts are available with built-in NC contacts for AX06.
AX40 and side-mounted blocks CAL5-11X and 4-pole blocks CA5X for AX06 ... AX80
