Why Choose the Lovato 7GN404218U4V 4-Position 6-Pole Cam Switch?
The Lovato 7GN404218U4V is a 40 A front-mount rotary cam switch designed for industrial electrical switching and control applications. Part of the Lovato GN rotary cam switch family, it combines a six-pole switching arrangement with four operating positions for applications requiring multi-circuit manual selection.
With 6 poles and 4 switching positions, the 7GN404218U4V provides a versatile mechanical interface for controlling or selecting multiple electrical circuits from a single rotary operator. Its 40 A rating makes it suitable for industrial control, machinery and electrical panel applications requiring a substantial switching capacity.
The switch is designed for front mounting and features a 65 × 65 mm front format. This arrangement provides a clear local operating point while locating the switching mechanism behind the mounting surface, making it well suited to control-panel and machine-console installations.

Reliable Multi-Circuit Rotary Switching
Rotary cam switches use mechanically profiled cams to operate groups of contacts according to the selected handle position. The Lovato 7GN404218U4V provides four selectable positions across a six-pole arrangement, allowing several conductors or circuits to be switched through a single manual operator.
Its front-mounted 65 × 65 mm format makes the switch particularly suitable for panel-based installations where the operator must remain readily accessible while the switching contacts are positioned behind the panel. The 40 A rating supports demanding industrial control and switching duties when applied within the switch's specified electrical ratings.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machine operating and circuit-selection controls.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
- Multi-circuit manual switching systems.
- Industrial switchgear and control assemblies.
- Panel-mounted equipment requiring four selectable operating positions.
