Eaton M22-WLKV-R Knob Type Key Lock Actuator 22.5 Mm

Product Description

The EATON M22-WLKV-R is a knob type key lock actuator designed for use in the M22 modular 22.5 MM command and signaling device series. This actuator requires a key to rotate, providing positive access control and preventing unauthorized or accidental operation of the connected control circuit. It mounts to a standard 22.5 MM cutout and accepts compatible M22 contact block elements at the rear. Electricians and panel builders install this component in industrial control panels, machine tools, and process equipment where operator lockout and deliberate actuation are required by design or safety code.

The M22-WLKV-R is suited for industrial and commercial electrical control applications where a key-operated selector or maintained-position actuator is needed. It is installed in control panel doors and operator stations on manufacturing lines, packaging equipment, and similar machinery. The key lock function supports access restriction and aligns with machine safety practices that require deliberate key removal to allow or restrict control functions. Licensed electricians and control panel integrators are the primary installers of this device.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with the EATON M22 modular 22.5 MM command and signaling device system, accepting compatible M22 series contact blocks and mounting hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements for industrial control panels. De-energize and lock out the panel before installing or servicing this actuator. Ensure the panel cutout is the correct 22.5 MM diameter and that the mounting surface thickness is within the range supported by the M22 mounting hardware. Verify that the selected contact block elements are compatible with the M22 modular system before final assembly.
