Why Choose the Lovato LPSS370R3131A Key-Operated Selector Switch?
The Lovato LPSS370R3131A is a robust three-position key-operated metal selector switch actuator designed for controlled operation of industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems. Part of the Lovato Platinum metal Ø22 mm series, it provides a durable operator interface for applications where access to machine commands needs to be restricted by key.
The LPSS370R3131A features a 1 > 0 < 2 three-position configuration with spring return to the central 0 position from both sides. This momentary operating action is particularly useful for directional, jog and temporary machine commands where the control should automatically return to its neutral position when released.
Using Lovato's 3131A key coding, the LPSS370R3131A combines controlled access with reliable momentary selection. Designed for Ø22 mm panel mounting, it features a black non-illuminated key actuator and provides IP67 / IP69K front protection together with a NEMA 4X front enclosure rating.

Reliable Key-Controlled Selection for Industrial Machinery
Key-operated selector switches provide a practical way to restrict machine commands to personnel who have access to the correct key. The 1 > 0 < 2 configuration of the LPSS370R3131A provides two momentary operating directions with a central neutral position, helping prevent a command from remaining active after the operator releases the selector.
This operating arrangement makes the LPSS370R3131A particularly suitable for applications such as forward/reverse movement, raise/lower functions, jog control and other temporary commands. Its metal construction and high front-side ingress protection provide dependable operation in industrial control stations and machine panels.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse machine controls.
- Raise and lower control functions.
- Jog and inching commands.
- Industrial machine control panels.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Production and packaging machinery.
- Automation systems requiring key-controlled momentary operation.
