To switch equipment on and off, or control other functions, choose this rotary cam switch from Schneider Electric. Simply turn the knob 60° clockwise to manually open a circuit and activate machinery. It comes supplied with a contact block so it's simple to install, and it's front-mounted, which makes it easy to access and operate. The metal legend has the two positions clearly marked in black so you can see when a process or machine is running.

• Operating temperature range between -20°C and +55°C for use in harsh conditions
• Slow break contacts ensure a higher minimum actuation speed and prevent delays in starting or stopping functions
• Captive screw clamp terminals keep electrical connections secure for reliable and effective operations

• Control panels
• Medical and diagnostic equipment
• Agricultural machinery

Rotary switches control equipment by rotating between multiple positions, letting you select different electrical circuits or states within a device. Conventional switches, by contrast, typically access only two positions (on and off).
