Why Choose the EMAS CP101AA31 Key-Operated Control Switch?
The EMAS CP101AA31 is a robust 22 mm key-operated control switch designed for controlled operation of industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems. Part of the EMAS CP Series, it combines three switch positions, two normally open contacts and a single spring-return mechanism.
This control switch has three positions marked II–0–I, with a 60° switching angle between positions. Its single spring-return design provides one maintained operating direction and one momentary direction that returns automatically when released, offering flexible control from a single key-operated device.
The key can be removed in the central 0 position, helping restrict equipment operation to authorised personnel. With an AC-15 operational current rating of 4 A at 230 V AC, IP65 front protection and a standard 22 mm mounting diameter, the CP101AA31 is suitable for machine panels, operator stations and industrial control enclosures.
Key Advantages
- Key-operated control helps restrict machinery functions to authorised personnel.
- Three II–0–I positions support two control functions and a central neutral position.
- Single spring-return operation combines maintained and momentary control in one device.
- Two normally open contacts provide control-circuit switching for industrial equipment.
- Key removal in the central 0 position supports controlled equipment access.
- IP65 front protection provides resistance to dust and water jets when correctly installed.
- Standard 22 mm panel mounting simplifies integration into control equipment.

Flexible Maintained and Momentary Machine Control
Single spring-return key switches combine two operating behaviours within one control device. One outer position provides maintained selection, while the other provides momentary operation and returns when released. This arrangement is useful where an installation requires both a continuous mode and a temporary command.
The EMAS CP101AA31 provides two normally open contacts and a central 0 position within a standard 22 mm format. Key-controlled operation helps manage access to machine functions, while the mixed maintained and spring-return mechanism supports flexible industrial control configurations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery mode controls.
- Maintained and momentary machine functions.
- Production and assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Pump and motor control panels.
- Operator control stations.
- Access-controlled automation systems.
