Applications
Manual motor controllers like the Katko KEM-316UL serve as a local means of starting, stopping, and isolating motors in industrial control panels, machinery, and process equipment. The Type 4X enclosure rating makes this unit suitable for indoor and outdoor applications where protection against dust, water, and corrosion is required — commonly seen in food processing, chemical, and washdown environments. Its certification as a motor disconnect satisfies NEC requirements for a lockable means of isolation at or near the motor, making it a standard component in machine tool panels, conveyor systems, pump stations, and PLC-controlled equipment enclosures. Katko is a Finnish manufacturer with a long history of producing rotary switches and disconnects for demanding industrial applications, and the KEM series is a well-established line used across industrial automation and building services installations worldwide.
This Katko KEM-316UL Manual Motor Controller has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a PLC control room during a facility vacate. The yellow enclosure and red rotary handle show minor surface scuffing and dirt typical of panel use. The rear enclosure panel shows some scuff marks and light soiling consistent with its installation history, but the unit is structurally intact with no cracks or damage observed. The rating plate on the side is fully legible. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
