Cam Switch

A Cam Switch is a manual control device that uses a rotating cam mechanism to open and close multiple electrical circuits in a precise sequence. As the operator rotates the handle, the cam's unique profile determines the timing and order in which contacts make or break.

This enables sophisticated control functions like multi-step switching, circuit selection, and control mode changes with a simple turn of the handle, providing reliable operation in various industrial applications.
