Why Choose the Lovato LPFS340R458A Key Selector?
The Lovato LPFS340R458A is a flush-metal key-operated selector actuator with two positions and 458A key coding, designed for industrial machinery and control panels where access to operating functions needs to be restricted. Part of the Lovato Platinum flat-metal Ø30 mm range, it provides a robust keyed operator interface for controlled machine and equipment selection.
The selector has two positions with 0 as the normal position and a momentary 1 position. It features automatic return to position 0, while the key can be extracted in the 0 position. This arrangement is useful where an authorised operator needs to initiate a temporary keyed command without leaving the selector maintained in the operated position.
Manufactured from aluminium-zinc alloy, the LPFS340R458A provides IP66, IP67 and IP69K IEC protection and mechanical durability of up to 1,000,000 cycles. It is designed for use with the Lovato LPXAU120M mounting adapter and compatible modular contact elements selected according to the required control circuit.

Reliable Key-Operated Momentary Control for Industrial Machinery
Key-operated selectors are useful where a machine command should only be accessible to personnel carrying the appropriate key. The Lovato LPFS340R458A combines key extraction in position 0 with a spring-return operating position, providing a controlled method of issuing a temporary command within an appropriately designed industrial control circuit.
After operation to position 1, the actuator returns automatically to position 0. Its durable metal construction, high ingress-protection ratings and modular Platinum-series architecture make it suitable for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation installations requiring controlled operator access.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Authorised momentary machine commands.
- Restricted machine enable functions.
- Maintenance and service control interfaces.
- Reset or acknowledgement circuits where appropriately configured.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation panels.
