16A changeover switch, direction of rotation switch L-0-P, in OB2 housing with yellow/red front plate ŁK16R-3.8368\OB2C

Rotary cam switch for changing the direction of rotation – reliable motor control

This rotary cam switch with a rated current of 16A is a solid solution for changing the direction of rotation of three-phase motors. Designed for mounting in OB2 enclosures, with a clear front in yellow and red colors, it provides easy identification and safe operation. The L-0-P configuration allows you to choose between motor operation to the left, off (position 0), and operation to the right. This is an ideal component for installers building switchboards and for end-users who need reliable control of devices.

Construction and application

The SPAMEL rotary cam switch is a segmented device that allows you to create various connection programs depending on the knob position. Made of durable plastic, it is resistant to mechanical damage and environmental influences. The IP65 protection class guarantees safe use even in harsh conditions – dust and moisture are not a problem. The switch finds application in enclosures of low-voltage electrical installations as a switch, disconnector or control switch. It is particularly useful in applications requiring frequent changes in the direction of motor rotation, e.g. in ventilation systems, lifts or industrial machines.
