Cam switch 16A, Dahlander two-speed switch, front panel mounting grey, black knob SK16-4.8390\P23

Dahlander Switch for Versatile Applications

This two-speed cam switch, designed for panel mounting, is a robust solution for controlling motors and other devices requiring changes in rotational speed or direction. The Dahlander mechanism allows for smooth gear changes, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions.

Construction and Application

The SK16-4.8390\P23 switch is made of durable plastic, guaranteeing its durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The IP65 protection rating provides protection against dust and water jets, allowing it to be used in harsh industrial conditions and in rooms with high humidity. It is designed for circuits with a rated current of 16A and a power of 3.5 kW at 400V (AC-3), making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.

Advantages and Characteristic Features

• Two-speed Dahlander mechanism: allows changing the rotational speed or direction of the device, increasing its functionality.
• Durable construction: plastic housing provides resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion.
• High IP65 protection rating: guarantees safe use in harsh environmental conditions – dust and water are not a problem.
• Panel mounting: facilitates integration with existing installations and devices.
• Wide range of applications: ideal for controlling motors, pumps, fans and other electrical devices.
• Safety: It has a "0" position allowing complete disconnection of the circuit, and the lack of auxiliary contacts minimizes the risk of interference with the system operation.
• Easy installation: screw connection of the main contacts ensures quick and secure connection of wires.

Technical Parameters in Practice

The rated continuous current of 16A allows for safe use with most standard electrical devices with similar power consumption. The possibility of indirect mounting provides flexibility in choosing the installation location, and high resistance to vibration and shock (compliant with IEC standards) guarantees reliable operation even in demanding industrial conditions. The cross-section of connection wires 1...4 mm² ensures compatibility with a wide range of electrical wires available on the market.
