Rotary direction change switch for panel mounting

This cam switch, designated ŁK16R-3.8368\P03, is a reliable solution for manual control of electrical circuits. It is used to switch electric motors, transformers and other equipment requiring a change in direction of rotation or selection of operating mode. The switch design allows for flush mounting on a panel, providing convenience and ease of operation.

Construction and application

Cam switches of the ŁK series are designed to operate under conditions of frequent switching, offering high mechanical durability - up to 3 million switching cycles. This switch is particularly useful where manual control over the device is required, e.g. in machines and industrial equipment, control panels or automation systems. Thanks to the IP65 protection rating (front side), it is resistant to dust and water ingress, which increases its reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

Key features and benefits

• Change of direction of rotation: L-0-P function allows changing the direction of motor rotation or selecting the operating mode of the device.
• Durable construction: Made of plastic, it provides resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion.
• Safety: Rated continuous current of 16A and short-circuit current of 2kA guarantee safe operation of the electrical installation.
• Easy installation: Designed for panel mounting, which facilitates integration with existing control systems.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for controlling electric motors, transformers and other devices requiring manual switching.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN 60 947-3:1992 standard, which confirms its safety and reliability.
• High durability: Designed for intensive use thanks to the high number of switching cycles (3 million).
• Environmental protection: IP65 protection rating provides dust and water resistance on the front of the device.

Technical parameters in practice

The rated power for AC-3 at 400V is 8 kW, which means the switch can effectively control motors up to 8 kW. Screw connection type ensures a secure and durable connection of wires. The lack of auxiliary contacts (both normally open and normally closed) simplifies the design and reduces the risk of failure. The possibility of indirect mounting provides flexibility in integration with different types of enclosures and control panels. It is important to remember the ambient temperature during operation of the device - a range of -25°C to +70°C ensures optimal performance in various industrial conditions.
