The Gemco® Geared Rotary Limit Switches are primarily used in material handling and rotary operations where motion is expressed in shaft rotation. The input shaft is typically connected to the motor or drive mechanism, after a set amount of turns, the cam trips the switches, thus starting or stopping the movement. The primary purpose of the switch is to control the intermediate or end limits in linear or rotary motion. The switch is often used as a safety device to protect against accidental damage to equipment due to over-travel. Our Geared Rotary Limit Switch line is designed for longevity. Units include all metal gearing and switches that are rated for 15 million operations. In the 2006 Series (General Purpose) Watertight / Oil tight / Dust tight NEMA 4 / 5 enclosures are made of cast aluminum with ½” input shaft. External mounting holes enable switch mounting without internal interference. Available in 2 or 4 circuit units with either SPDT or DPDT switches, with ratios from 5:1 to 1080:1. Optional Potentiometers are available in our two circuit models for continuous feedback. The NEMA 4 / 5 enclosure provides a clean environmental condition for the industrial duty snap action switches. When motion can be expressed in shaft rotation, either through a roller chain, gear train, or direct coupling, the Gemco® 2006 Series Geared Rotary Limit Switch makes it possible to open or close, up to four independent circuits at the desired angular positions.
