Why Choose the Lovato LPFS332R3131A Key Selector Switch?
The Lovato LPFS332R3131A is a robust three-position keyed selector switch actuator designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of the Lovato Platinum flat metal Ø30 mm series, it provides secure 1-0-2 control through a removable key-operated mechanism, helping restrict equipment operation to authorised personnel.
The selector combines a durable metal construction with a compact flush-mounted design suitable for professional control and signalling applications. Its black key actuator is non-illuminated and provides three distinct switch positions, making it suitable for mode selection, machine control, access-restricted functions and operating-state selection.
With IP66, IP67 and IP69K front protection, a mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 operating cycles and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, the LPFS332R3131A is designed for reliable service in demanding industrial environments. The actuator uses the Lovato 3131A key code and is intended for Ø30 mm Platinum-series installations.

Secure Control for Industrial Machinery
Key-operated selector switches are commonly used where machine functions, operating modes or process states must only be changed by authorised personnel. The Lovato LPFS332R3131A provides three clearly defined 1-0-2 positions, enabling operators to select between alternative control states while retaining the security of key-operated access.
The Platinum flat metal construction is designed for control panels and industrial operator stations where mechanical durability and environmental protection are important. Its high ingress protection ratings make the actuator suitable for installations exposed to dust, moisture or intensive cleaning procedures.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine control panels.
- Automation and process control systems.
- Operating-mode selection circuits.
- Restricted-access machine functions.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Control desks and operator stations.
