Rotary switch 16A, direction of rotation changeover switch L-0-P, in OB11 housing, with indicator light SK16-3.8368\OB11/L

Cam switch for controlling motors and devices

This 16A cam switch, with an L-O-P rotary direction changeover switch, is a reliable solution for controlling electric motors and other devices requiring frequent changes in operating direction. It finds application in a wide range of electrical installations, both in industry and construction. Manufactured by the renowned company SPAMEL, it guarantees durability and safety of use.

Construction and operating parameters

The switch is designed for mounting in an OB11 enclosure, providing protection against external conditions (IP65 protection class). Its segmented construction allows for flexible configuration of the connection program, adapting it to the specific needs of the application. Designed to operate in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, it meets the standards PN-EN 60947-3 and IEC 60947-3, confirming its compliance with European safety standards. The continuous rated current is 16A, and the rated switching power at AC-3 (400V) is 3.5 kW. The possibility of mounting on a rail or directly on a panel increases its versatility.

Application and benefits

This model of switch is particularly useful in applications requiring frequent changes in motor rotation direction, e.g. in gate drives, cranes, conveyors or production machines. Thanks to its solid construction and high-quality materials, it ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial conditions. High resistance to vibrations, shocks and atmospheric factors make it the ideal choice for demanding users. Additionally, the presence of a signal lamp facilitates monitoring of the device status.
