B-LINE M22-W3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the M22-W3 selector switch include contact blocks, or do I have to order those separately?
The M22-W3 is an operator only. It ships with a contact block mounting adapter, but the contact blocks themselves are ordered separately and stacked onto that adapter. Plan on buying the contact elements you need for your circuit along with the operator, otherwise you have a rotary actuator with nothing to switch.
2) What panel hole size does the M22-W3 selector switch need?
It mounts in a standard 22.5 mm panel cutout, which is the common size for industrial pilot devices, so it drops into an existing 22.5 mm hole in a control panel door or enclosure cover.
3) Is the M22-W3 a spring-return switch or does it stay in position?
As supplied it is momentary, so the knob spring-returns to center from both outer positions. It can be converted in the field to maintained operation by removing a color coded adapter, so one part covers both spring-return and stay-put applications without reordering.
4) Can this selector switch go on a washdown or outdoor enclosure?
Yes. The M22-W3 operator is rated IP66 and NEMA 4X and 13, so it holds up to hose-down cleaning, corrosive atmospheres, and oil or coolant spray when installed in a correspondingly rated enclosure with the gasket seated properly.
5) How many positions does the M22-W3 have and how is the knob marked?
Three positions, marked I, O, II with etching code X1, X0, X2. That marking suits a forward/off/reverse or a hand/off/auto style selection, with the O centered between the two live positions.
6) Is the M22-W3 selector switch illuminated?
No, it is a non-illuminated rotary operator with a black knob and a silver bezel. If you need the position indicated by a lamp, you need an illuminated selector operator instead of this one.
7) How much space does the M22-W3 take up behind and across the panel?
The operator body measures 1.17 in long by 1.17 in wide by .93 in high, so it fits a tight device spacing on a panel face. Remember the stacked contact blocks add depth behind the panel beyond that .93 in figure.
8) How long will this selector switch last on a machine that gets cycled all shift?
The M22-W3 is rated for 100,000 mechanical operations. For a switch turned a few dozen times per shift that is years of service; for a high-cycle automated selection point, expect to schedule replacement.
9) What is the exact part number and series for this Eaton B-Line selector switch operator?
Order it as M22-W3, part of the M22 modular device line. Being modular means the operator, mounting adapter, and contact blocks are separate pieces that assemble into the finished device.
