£33.10
The Lovato BFX5001 is a reliable mechanical interlock accessory designed for use with Lovato BF series contactors in motor starter assemblies and industrial automation systems. It provides a secure mechanical connection between contactors, preventing simultaneous operation where electrical and mechanical interlocking is required.
Designed for side mounting on BF00, BF09 and BF38 series contactors, the BFX5001 includes two normally closed auxiliary contacts to support electrical interlocking functions alongside the mechanical interlock mechanism.
The Lovato BFX5001 is ideal for machine builders, panel manufacturers and automation engineers creating reversing motor starters, changeover assemblies and other applications where reliable contactor coordination is essential.
Mechanical interlocks such as the Lovato BFX5001 are used in industrial motor control circuits to physically prevent two contactors from closing at the same time. This is particularly important in reversing motor starters and changeover applications where incorrect operation could damage equipment.
Combined with Lovato BF series contactors, the BFX5001 provides a dependable solution for building compact and safe motor control assemblies used throughout industrial automation environments.
