Product Description
Benefits & Applications
The Lovato Electric 8LM2TC01D is a compact 1NC (Normally Closed) auxiliary contact block designed for use with Lovato 8LM series pushbuttons, selector switches, and modular operator devices. Offering reliable control circuit performance and long mechanical life, this variant features the “D” orientation—making it ideal for operator assemblies that require a specific mounting direction or reduced installation depth.
Engineered for industrial control systems, the 8LM2TC01D delivers clean, dependable switching for safety circuits, stop functions, interlocks, and PLC digital input applications. Its snap-on modular design allows fast installation behind compatible operator heads without tools or wiring modifications.
Typical Applications
- Stop circuits and emergency shutoff logic
- Safety and interlock functions
- PLC input and automation feedback signals
- Industrial operator stations and OEM control panels
- HVAC, machinery, and building automation systems
Technical Advantages
- 1 Normally Closed (1NC) auxiliary contact
- “D” orientation for specific mounting positions or compact panel layouts
- High electrical reliability for low-voltage control and PLC circuits
- Tool-free snap-mount assembly
- Long mechanical endurance suitable for heavy-duty applications
- Fully compatible with all Lovato 8LM modular operator devices
Compatibility Notes
The 8LM2TC01D works with the Lovato 8LM series modular operator system, including:
- Pushbuttons (momentary and maintained)
- Illuminated pushbuttons
- Selector and key switches
- Emergency stop operators
- Modular control stations and OEM machinery panels
If your panel requires a Normally Closed auxiliary contact in the “D” mounting orientation for tight control cabinets or specific operator positions, the 8LM2TC01D is the correct Lovato OEM accessory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the “D” mean in 8LM2TC01D?
The “D” indicates a specific mounting orientation or depth configuration, allowing the contact block to fit operator assemblies with limited space or alignment requirements.
Q: What is the contact configuration of the 8LM2TC01D?
It provides 1 Normally Closed (1NC) auxiliary contact—commonly used for stop, interlock, or safety functions.
Q: Is the 8LM2TC01D compatible with all Lovato 8LM operators?
Yes. It fits all Lovato 8LM pushbuttons, selectors, key switches, and E-stop operators.
Q: Can additional auxiliary blocks be stacked?
Yes. Lovato’s 8LM modular system allows stacking NO and NC contact blocks for more complex control logic.
Q: What is the difference between 8LM2TC01 and 8LM2TC01D?
Both provide a 1NC auxiliary contact. The “D” version features a different mechanical orientation for specific panel layouts or operator positions.
