Why Choose the Lovato LPFS330R3131A Key Selector?
The Lovato LPFS330R3131A is a flush-metal key-operated selector actuator with three 1–0–2 positions and 3131A key coding, designed for industrial machinery and control panels where access to operating functions needs to be restricted. Part of the Lovato Platinum flush-metal Ø30 mm range, it provides a robust keyed interface for controlled machine and equipment selection.
The selector provides three positions arranged 1–0–2 and permits key extraction in the centre 0 position. This allows the key to be removed when the selector is returned to its neutral/off position, helping prevent unauthorised operation of positions 1 or 2. The 3131A key coding identifies the specific key configuration supplied with this version.
Manufactured from aluminium-zinc alloy, the LPFS330R3131A is designed for demanding industrial service and provides IP66, IP67 and IP69K IEC protection. It has a mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 cycles and uses the Lovato LPXAU120M mounting adapter system, with electrical contact elements selected separately to suit the required control circuit.
Key Advantages
- Key-operated control helps restrict machine functions to authorised personnel.
- Three 1–0–2 positions provide selection between two functions and a central neutral/off state.
- Key can be extracted in the 0 position.
- 3131A key coding identifies the keyed configuration.
- Robust aluminium-zinc alloy flush-metal construction.
- IP66, IP67 and IP69K IEC protection for demanding industrial environments.
- Mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 cycles.
- Modular Platinum-series design allows compatible contact elements to be selected for the application.

Reliable Key-Operated Selection for Industrial Machinery
Key-operated selectors are ideal where machine operating modes or functions should only be changed by personnel carrying the appropriate key. The Lovato LPFS330R3131A provides three 1–0–2 positions, allowing two selectable functions to be arranged around a central 0 position in an appropriately designed control circuit.
Because the key is removable in position 0, access can be controlled while the selector is left in its central state. Its durable metal construction, high ingress-protection ratings and modular Platinum-series design make it suitable for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation applications requiring controlled operator access.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Restricted operating-mode selection.
- Authorised machine function selection.
- Maintenance and service control interfaces.
- Three-position industrial control systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation panels.
