A custom product is used in conjunction with limit switches Geared cam limit switches have for a long time been an integral part of cable winches. They are constructed in such a way that they reproduce numerous turns of a shaft on the angle of rotation of the integral cam-disc or camshaft. As they move, the individual lobes operate mechanical switch contacts, which for example ensure the emergency shutdown of the winch before the end of the cable is reached, or for slower unwinding of the winch shortly before this point. Geared limit switches are essential component parts of power-operated hoisting...

se conditions, thanks to its high IP65 protection level. The maximum allowable operating temperature is in the range of –40 °C to +80 °C. The encoder’s permissible maximum shaft loadings are 80 N radial and 60 N axial. The encoder is double-supported. Two precision ball-bearings provide backlash-free support for the encoder. The service life is 109 revolutions at 100% of full rated shaft load and is extended to 1010 revolutions at only 20% bearing load. The infrared LED that is used has a life of around 100,000 hours – a figure normally only rarely achieved in limit switches applications. WDG58...
