Why Choose the Lovato 7GN12136U47 Multi-Step Rotary Cam Switch?
The Lovato 7GN12136U47 is a robust multi-step rotary cam switch designed for manual selection and switching duties in industrial electrical control systems. As part of the Lovato 7GN rotary cam switch series, it provides a 0-1-2-3 switching sequence across three poles, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable multi-position circuit selection.
The 7GN12136U47 combines a 16 A conventional free-air thermal current rating with three-pole switching and four selectable positions. Its 7GN round-shaped contact block construction is engineered for dependable electrical switching, while a mechanical endurance of up to 3 × 106 cycles supports frequent operation in industrial machinery, control panels and electrical distribution equipment.
Designed for snap-on front mounting through a Ø22 mm panel hole, the switch features a black operating handle and a 48 × 48 mm front plate. This panel-mounting arrangement provides a compact operator interface while allowing the switching mechanism to be installed behind the control-panel surface.
