The Lovato GX1611U25 is a robust 3-pole, 3-position rotary cam reversing switch designed for manual direction control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and control panels. As part of the Lovato GX rotary cam switch series, it uses switching diagram 11 and provides a dependable mechanical solution for forward, stop and reverse motor control.
Rated for a conventional free-air thermal current of 16 A, the GX1611U25 combines the compact square contact-block construction of the GX16 series with front-panel mounting. The switch uses three switching elements and provides high electrical insulation and mechanical durability for frequent industrial control duties.
This U25 version features a compact 48 × 48 mm front plate with a red/yellow padlockable handle, making it particularly suitable where clear operator identification and provision for securing the switch position are required. The operator provides IP65 frontal protection when correctly installed, while the terminals are protected to IP20.
Rotary cam reversing switches such as the Lovato GX1611U25 provide direct manual selection of motor direction by mechanically changing the required phase connections. The three-position switching arrangement provides a straightforward forward-stop-reverse interface for machinery where manual direction selection is required.
The GX series combines silver-alloy switching contacts, double-break contact operation and a compact square contact-block design for dependable industrial switching. The GX1611U25 adds a red/yellow padlockable operator, making it particularly useful for machinery and panels where secure and clearly identifiable manual motor control is important.
