DESCRIPTION
The Gemco Rotating Cam Limit Switch has been
developed to meet all requirements for an industrial
multipurpose cam-actuated limit switch in applications
where precise repetitive sequential, automatic, or semi-
automatic operations are required in control circuitry.
When motion is expressed in shaft rotation, either
through a roller chain, gear train, or directly, the Gemco
Rotating Cam Limit Switch makes it possible to open or
close independent circuits at any desired angular position
of the input shaft. Any closed circuit or open circuit from
4° to 356° is obtainable without the use of special cams.
All cam settings can be adjusted at any angular position
of the cam shaft.
MAINTENANCE & INSTALLATION
Lifetime sealed ball bearings provide smooth
maintenance-free operation and allow mounting of the
Gemco Micro-Adjust Rotating Cam Limit Switch in any
position.
NO TOOLS NECESSARY!
TO ADJUST CAM SETTING
SUGGESTED SET-UP PROCEDURE
The Gemco Micro-Adjust Cams may be adjusted either
before or after installation. The following procedure is
recommended for cam adjustment.
1. Mount the assembly and couple shaft driving member
with the shaft keyway aligned with the positioning arrow
located on the bearing end plate. The machine should be
in the start cycle position with all cams set at zero.
2. Turn cam adjustment disc to the desired setting,
observing the angular degree position markings on the
top of the cam block.
3. Follow the cam setting procedure as described inside
the cover of the enclosure.
