Peter Albrecht's Rotary Limit Switch is a four-element, rotating-shaft, limit switch intended for use on equipment where machinery movement can be used to drive a gear assembly that mechanically correlates position to shaft turns.
Our assembly includes one travel limit and one over-travel limit in both rotational directions. The input shaft has a 70-turn limit. Motor control power is interrupted by a micro-switch when limits are reached. All four limits are easily adjusted along the range by:
- Adjusting wheels with 36 positions per turn providing a resolution of one part in 70x36=2,520.
- Tightening track screws to lock settings.
WARNING! Improper use and/or adjustment of rotary limit switches may result in equipment damage, injury or death.
PAC's rotary limit switches are manufactured and factory tested in our Greendale, WI plant. They are standard on most of our motorized hoists and can also be purchased separately, with or without the enclosure. Typical applications include hoists, movable tables, screw lifts, and linear positioning systems. Pricing discounts are available in quantities over 25.
