63A cam switch, direction of rotation reversing switch L-0-P, base mounting front closure yellow/red SK63-3.8368\BS08

Rotary cam switch for reversing motor direction – reliability and versatility

This rotary cam switch, with a rated current of 63A, is a robust solution for controlling three-phase motors. Designed for base mounting, with a lockable front (yellow/red), it provides safe and convenient reversing of motor direction. The design allows for flexible use in various electrical installations, both in industry and construction.

Construction and application

The rotary cam switch SK63-3.8368\BS08 is an element used to manually switch electrical circuits. Its main task is to change the direction of rotation of three-phase motors, which finds application in machines and equipment requiring precise motion control. Made of durable plastic, it is characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage and external factors. The IP65 protection rating guarantees safe use even in harsh environmental conditions – dust and moisture are not a problem.

Key features and benefits

• High mechanical resistance: The housing made of plastic ensures durability and resistance to damage.

• Safe to use: IP65 protection protects against moisture and dust, minimizing the risk of failure.

• Suitable for indirect mounting: Allows easy integration with existing installations.

• L-0-P switch: Provides full control over the motor direction – the "0" position allows you to turn off the circuit.

• High rated power: The rated power for AC-3 is 18 kW at 400V, allowing operation of even demanding loads.

• Solid connections: Screw connection of the main contacts guarantees a reliable electrical connection.

• Versatility: Suitable for use in various industries and in construction.

• Lockable front: Additional protection against unauthorized access and manipulation (yellow/red).

Technical parameters in practice

This model combines a solid construction with functionality tailored to the needs of professionals. The continuous rated current of 63A and the ability to operate at an insulation voltage of 690V make it a reliable element even in demanding applications. The switching angle of 30°-45°-90° ensures precise circuit control. In addition, high mechanical strength (3 million switching cycles) guarantees long-term use without the need for frequent device replacement. The cross-section of the connecting wires is 6-16 mm², which provides great flexibility when connecting wires of different thicknesses.
