The Allen-Bradley 803-PL3X cam switch is a rotating cam limit switch from the Bulletin 803 and Style P series. It is designed to accommodate 3 cams, but it does not come with the cams built into it like most Bulletin 803 switches do. The cams for the 803-PL3X rotating cam limit switch must be ordered separately in a compatible Bulletin 803 series cam kit and then installed by the users. The shaft of this switch features a left hand extension in addition to the standard Style P right hand extension and it can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Additionally, the shaft of the 803-PL3X rotating cam limit switch can rotate at up to 400 RPM.
