Furnas Electric Company R327AR Drum Controller

The Furnas R327AR Drum Controller is a panel-mounted, manual lever-operated rotary motor control switch that provides forward, reverse, and stop control for electric motors used in industrial control panels. Commonly installed in legacy motor control panels, reversing starter circuits, hoists, conveyors, and other industrial machinery where direct mechanical switching of motor direction is required, it is valued by maintenance teams, OEM rebuilders, and system integrators for repairs, retrofits, and restoration of legacy motor control functionality. Specifications include 120–600 V AC (application dependent), single-phase and three-phase motor compatibility, up to approximately 1.5–2 HP per configuration, and multi-position rotary switch contacts that support forward, reverse, and stop functions in a panel-mounted industrial control assembly. Common replacements for the R327AR include Furnas R44R drum controller, Furnas JT5 reversing drum controller, and Allen-Bradley 194R rotary drum switch controller.
