Why Choose the IMO RBK2 Key-Operated Cam Switch Operator?
The IMO RBK2 is a robust key-operated cam switch operator with a round bezel designed for compatible IMO CSxxA rotary cam switches. It provides a secure front-panel operating interface for industrial switching applications where restricting operation to authorised personnel is desirable.
Unlike a conventional rotary handle, the RBK2 uses key operation and allows the key to be removed in all latched switch positions. This makes it particularly useful for electrical control panels, machinery and equipment where the selected cam switch position needs to be maintained while helping prevent unauthorised or accidental operation.
Designed for the IMO CSxxA cam switch range, the RBK2 features a compact round bezel and is suitable for the series' 22.5 mm single-hole front-panel mounting arrangement. When correctly installed with a compatible switch, the single-hole mounting configuration provides IP65 front protection for demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Secure key-operated interface for IMO rotary cam switches.
- Key removable in all latched positions for controlled switch operation.
- Compact round bezel for a neat front-panel installation.
- Designed for 22.5 mm single-hole mounting.
- IP65 front-panel mounting arrangement when correctly installed with a compatible cam switch.
- Suitable for industrial switching applications where access to the control needs to be restricted.

- Replacement key available under IMO accessory code B4-R455.
Secure Manual Control for Rotary Cam Switches
Rotary cam switches are widely used to perform defined manual switching functions such as isolation, changeover, motor control and circuit selection. The IMO RBK2 provides a key-controlled operating interface for compatible CSxxA switch bodies, allowing access to the switching function to be restricted while retaining straightforward front-panel operation.
The modular IMO CSxxA system allows the required electrical switching body to be selected separately from the operator. Using the RBK2 provides a round-bezel key operator with the ability to remove the key in any latched position, making it useful for applications where a selected switch state needs to remain in place after the operator has removed the key.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Restricted-access machine controls.
- Key-controlled isolator and selector switch assemblies.
- Motor control and changeover systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Electrical distribution and panel-building applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IMO RBK2 used for?
The IMO RBK2 is a key-operated rotary operator used with compatible IMO CSxxA cam switches to provide controlled front-panel operation of industrial switching functions.
Can the key be removed from the IMO RBK2?
Yes. IMO specifies that its CSxxA key operators permit key removal in all latched positions, allowing the selected switch position to remain set after the key is removed.
What type of bezel does the IMO RBK2 have?
The RBK2 uses a compact round bezel, distinguishing it from the IMO SPK2 key operator that uses a square escutcheon arrangement.
What mounting arrangement is used with the IMO RBK2?
The RBK2 is designed for compatible IMO CSxxA cam switches using a 22.5 mm single-hole front-panel mounting arrangement.
Which IMO cam switches are compatible with the RBK2?
The RBK2 is an operator option for the IMO CSxxA rotary cam switch family, including CS20A, CS32A and CS50A switch ranges.
Secure Control for Industrial Switching
IMO key-operated cam switch operators provide panel builders, machine builders and control engineers with a practical way to restrict access to manual rotary switching functions across industrial machinery and electrical control systems.
