Klockner Moeller TM-5-8270 Rotary Cam Switch

The Klockner Moeller TM-5-8270 Rotary Cam Switch is a compact, center-mounted, three-pole cam switch that provides three selectable positions (1, 2, 3) for routing three circuits from a single actuator. With 60-degree cam indexing and positive detents, each position stays reliably set, and the unit is rated for 10 A at up to 300 VAC, making it suitable for panel-level control circuits in light-to-mid industrial equipment. As part of Moeller’s TM family (now under Eaton), the TM-5-8270 is designed for panel mounting and syncs all three poles with a single rotation, simplifying wiring and panel layout in applications such as mode selection, start/stop sequencing, or other three-path control schemes. It is commonly used in automation panels where a compact, durable manual selector is needed to switch between predefined circuit paths while preserving circuit integrity in each position. When selecting a TM-5-8270, verify the exact variant for mounting style, contact configuration, and voltage/current ratings to ensure compatibility with your specific control system.
