Cam switches are a type of electrical switch operated by rotation. Cam switches allow the user to turn a knob or shaft that increases or decreases the resistance conducted through the contacts depending on the direction of the turn. Cam switches are an ideal alternative to more conventional toggle or slide switches when the number of circuits or electrical states in a circuit requiring control exceeds the capability of toggle and slide switches.As their name implies, rotary switches function by means of circular rotation around a central rotor. They can stop in a number of different actuation positions, turning different circuits on or off or increasing or decreasing the value of the circuit. Some rotary switches can be configured to control multiple contacts simultaneously at a single switch position.

**Cam Switch Applications**Cam switches are frequently found on audio equipment as volume control dials, they can be used for a wide range of applications including:• Controlling the speed of conveyor belts• Varying electrical values in electronic instruments• Step-control of AC/DC drives• Pilot controls of aircraft• Medical and diagnostic equipment• Construction and agricultural equipment

Cam Switches are form of electrical switches which allow the user to increase or decrease the resistance created through the contacts varying on which way the device turns- the switch is operated by rotation. Rotary Switches work by rotating around a central rotor and can sometimes be programmed to control multiple contacts by a single switch position.Cam Switches are found on a wide range of products such as on audio, medical and construction equipment but is also used to control the speed of conveyer belts and step- control of AC/DC drives.

Changeover cam switches are electrical switches used for controlling the flow of electricity between multiple circuits or devices. They allow the user to select different electrical paths by manually rotating the switch mechanism.These switches typically have a circular or square-shaped housing with multiple positions or detents. Each position corresponds to a specific electrical configuration, such as connecting one circuit while disconnecting another or switching between different power sources.Changeover cam switches are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications where the need for switching between different electrical circuits or sources is required. They provide a reliable and efficient means of controlling electrical systems, enabling operators to choose the desired circuit or power source for a specific application or operational scenario.These switches are available in various configurations, including different number of positions, current ratings, and switching capabilities. They are often used in control panels, machinery, electrical distribution systems, and other applications that require flexible and reliable electrical switching capabilities.
