Why Choose the Lovato LPFS380R458A Key Selector Switch Actuator?
The Lovato LPFS380R458A is a robust 3-position key-operated selector switch actuator designed for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems where access to operating functions needs to be restricted. Part of the Lovato Platinum flat metal Ø30 mm series, it provides a durable, low-profile operator for professional industrial machine interfaces.
The LPFS380R458A provides a 1 → 0 – 2 operating configuration, with automatic return from position 1 towards the central 0 position and a maintained position 2. The key can be extracted in position 2, making this configuration useful for authorised machine commands and operating-mode selection where one direction requires momentary operation and the other remains selected.
This variant uses the 458A key code and features a black, non-illuminated key actuator. Its IP67 / IP69K front protection and NEMA Type 4X rating support installation in demanding industrial environments, while the Ø30 mm flat-metal format provides a robust interface for machinery, control cabinets and operator stations.

Secure Keyed Control for Industrial Machinery
Key-operated selector switches provide a practical method of restricting important machine functions and operating-mode selection to authorised personnel. The Lovato LPFS380R458A combines three selectable positions with automatic return from position 1 to the central 0 position, providing both momentary and maintained operating functionality from a single keyed actuator.
The maintained position 2 and key-extraction arrangement allow a selected machine state to remain established after the key is removed. Combined with the robust Platinum flat-metal construction and high front protection ratings, this makes the LPFS380R458A suitable for industrial machinery, operator stations and automation panels in demanding environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Authorised machine commands and access control.
- Machine operating-mode selection.
- Momentary and maintained keyed control functions.
- Automation and process-control systems.
- Operator stations and industrial control consoles.
- OEM machinery and electrical control cabinets.
