Cam switch 16A, Dahlander's two-speed switch with direction of rotation change, panel mounting front grey knob black ŁK16R-7.8538\P03

Dahlander Switch – Reliable Motor Control

This 16A cam switch, also known as a Dahlander switch, is a robust solution for controlling electric motors. It enables changing the direction of rotation and operation in two speeds, making it a versatile element in many industrial and workshop applications. Desktop mounting provides convenient operation and easy access.

Functionality and application

The switch is designed to switch currents on and off in electrical circuits. It is ideal as a switch, isolator, changeover switch or control switch. Thanks to the Dahlander two-speed design, it allows for smooth adjustment of the motor speed, which is particularly useful in applications requiring precise control. Application in enclosed spaces (pollution degree 3) and a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) guarantee reliability even in difficult conditions.

Construction and characteristic features

The switch is characterized by a solid construction made of plastic, ensuring durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The IP65 degree of protection guarantees protection against dust and water jets, which increases safety of use. Screw connection of the main contacts ensures a secure and stable connection of the wires. The knob facilitates operation and precise setting of the desired operating mode. Designed for indirect mounting, which provides flexibility in installation. The rated operating power for AC-3 is 8 kW at 400 V, and the rated continuous current is 16 A. Additionally, the presence of the "0" position ensures safe disconnection of the circuit.
