Why Choose the IMO BC3KN2 Two-Position Rotary Selector?
The IMO BC3KN2 is a robust and dependable two-position rotary selector actuator designed for industrial control panels, machinery interfaces and operator stations. As part of the established IMO B3 22 mm control-device range, it provides clear manual selection between two maintained operating positions.
This non-illuminated selector features a black rotary knob, a chrome-finish bezel and 60° switching movement. Its maintained action keeps the selector in the chosen position after the operator releases the knob, making it suitable for on/off, manual/automatic and alternative function-selection duties.
Designed for installation through a 22.5 mm panel aperture, the BC3KN2 provides IP65 front protection for industrial environments. Its modular construction allows compatible IMO connectors and normally open or normally closed contact blocks to be selected separately for the required control circuit.
Key Advantages
- Industrial two-position rotary selector actuator for machinery controls.
- Maintained operation holds the selected control position.
- 60° switching movement provides distinct position selection.
- Black rotary knob supports straightforward manual operation.
- IP65 front protection suits industrial control-panel environments.
- Modular design supports compatible IMO contact-block configurations.
Key Features
- IMO B3 control and signalling range.
- Two maintained selector positions.
- 60° operating angle.
- Black, non-illuminated rotary knob.
- Chrome-finish front bezel.
- 22.5 mm panel mounting aperture.
- IP65 front protection rating.
- Compatible connector and contact blocks available separately.
Reliable Mode Selection for Industrial Machinery
Rotary selector actuators allow an operator to choose between defined machine functions or control states. Turning the IMO BC3KN2 moves the compatible contact-block mechanism between two positions, enabling commands such as on/off or manual/automatic operation to be implemented within the control circuit.
The maintained mechanism remains in the selected position until it is deliberately turned again. Combined with its IP65-rated front and modular contact-block arrangement, this makes the BC3KN2 a practical operator-control component for industrial panels and machinery.
Typical Applications
- On/off control selection.
- Manual/automatic mode selection.
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Operator stations and control consoles.
- Pump, fan and conveyor controls.
- Electrical cabinets and automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IMO BC3KN2 used for?
The BC3KN2 is used to select between two operating modes or control states in industrial machinery and automation systems.
Does the BC3KN2 have maintained or spring-return operation?
The BC3KN2 has maintained operation, so the knob remains in the selected position after it is released.
What panel aperture is required for the IMO BC3KN2?
The selector actuator is designed for installation in a 22.5 mm mounting hole.
What protection rating does the BC3KN2 provide?
The front of the installed selector has an IP65 protection rating, providing protection against dust and water jets.
Are electrical contacts included with the IMO BC3KN2?
The BC3KN2 is a modular selector actuator; compatible IMO connector and contact-block components are selected separately to create the required electrical contact arrangement.
Trusted for Industrial Operator Controls
IMO push-button and selector components are used by panel builders, automation engineers and machinery manufacturers to create clear, durable and dependable operator interfaces for industrial equipment.
