Rotary cam switches, also known as cam-operated rotary switches or selector switches, are electromechanical devices designed for manual control of electrical circuits. The LOVATO ELECTRIC range offers robust solutions for changeover, switching, circuit connection, and motor starting applications. These switches are engineered for easy installation, requiring only two screws for mounting, which simplifies panel assembly. They feature a high degree of frontal protection, typically IP65 or IP40, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. Lovato provides three distinct assembly lines: front-mounted, rear-mounted, and enclosed versions, all of which support custom wiring diagrams to meet specific application needs. Key technical parameters include rated operational current (Ie) up to 20A, rated insulation voltage (Ui) up to 690V, and a wide range of switching positions (e.g., 2 to 12 positions). The switches are available in various configurations, such as 2-pole, 3-pole, and 4-pole versions, with options for maintained or momentary action.
These rotary cam switches are widely used in industrial control panels, distribution boards, and automation systems for tasks like motor control, power selection, and circuit isolation. They are ideal for sectors including manufacturing, energy management, HVAC, and process automation. Common applications include changeover between power sources (e.g., mains and generator), switching of resistive and inductive loads, and direct-on-line starting of small motors. Their compact design and high ingress protection make them suitable for harsh environments, such as food processing plants or outdoor installations.
The LOVATO ELECTRIC rotary cam switch range includes several subcategories and key article codes. For example, the series LO230 (front-mounted) and LO240 (rear-mounted) are popular, with codes like LO230-1001 (2-position, 2-pole) and LO230-2001 (3-position, 3-pole). The enclosed versions, such as the LO240 series, come in IP65 enclosures. Article codes typically follow a pattern: LO230-XXXX, where the first two digits indicate the number of poles and positions, and the last two digits specify the switching diagram. Other notable series include the LO250 for heavy-duty applications and the LO260 for compact designs. Accessories like handle covers and padlockable handles are also available.
