The Lovato GX16F208U is a robust multi-step rotary cam switch designed for manual circuit selection and sequential control in industrial electrical systems. As part of the Lovato GX16 rotary cam switch series, it provides five clearly defined 1-2-3-4-5 switching positions, making it suitable for machinery, control panels and other applications requiring dependable multi-stage selection.
The GX16F208U features a square-shaped GX contact block design and provides six normally open contacts for implementing its multi-step switching function. Its mechanically operated cam arrangement provides positive switching between positions, while screw terminals provide secure electrical connections for industrial panel wiring.
Designed for front mounting, the GX16F208U is supplied with a short black operating handle and a compact 48 × 48 mm front plate. The GX16 series is rated for a conventional free-air thermal current of 16 A, while the front of the installed switch provides IP65 protection for dependable use on industrial control panels.
Multi-step rotary cam switches such as the Lovato GX16F208U use a mechanical cam mechanism to operate electrical contacts according to the selected handle position. The five-position 1-2-3-4-5 sequence allows an operator to progress through defined circuit states from a single control device, making it particularly useful where equipment or processes require several manually selectable operating stages.
The GX series is designed for dependable industrial switching with a compact panel footprint. The GX16F208U combines its multi-step switching arrangement with secure screw connections, a durable rotary operator and IP65 frontal protection, making it well suited to machinery control panels, switchboards and OEM electrical equipment.
