MF2C Rotary Limit Switch

The rotary limit switch is used to control the movement of industrial machinery. It operates as an
auxiliary controller of electrical motors through a power interface, such as a contactor or PLC. Suitable for
heavy duty, its shaft is connected to the motor and, after a set number of revolutions, the cams operate the
switches, thus starting the predetermined movement.

A worm gear and a helical toothed gear combined with one or more pairs of straight toothed gears
are used for the transmission of the movement from the input shaft to the output shaft. Revolution ratios
ranging from 1:1 to 1:150 result from the use of different combinations of gear wheels between the input shaft
and the output shaft, which is connected to the cams operating the switches.

Overall dimensions are suitable for assembly in small spaces. Transmission and gear driving shafts
are made of stainless steel to prevent oxidation and wear. The gear wheels and the driving bushes are made
of self-lubricating thermoplastic material, suitably chosen to reduce the wear to a minimum and to maintain
the accuracy of the couplings over time. Sintered bronze bushes are moulded into the base of the limit switch
to optimise the shaft rotation and to prevent rubbing with plastic material.

Each cam can be set with great accuracy thanks to the cam adjusting screws. The auxiliary switches
are of the positive opening type, thus suitable for safety functions.The limit switch is available with direct
control switches for operating directly on the motor.

Materials and components are wear resistant and protect the equipment against water and dust.
The limit switch can be customised with labels and colours according to the customer’s requirements.

SF12C Rotary Limit Switch

SF12C Rotary Limit Switch

The rotary limit switch is used to control the movement of industrial machinery. It operates as an
auxiliary controller of electrical motors through a power interface, such as a contactor or PLC. Suitable for
heavy duty, its shaft is connected to the motor and, after a set number of revolutions, the cams operate the
switches, thus starting the predetermined movement. A worm gear and a helical toothed gear combined with
one or more pairs of straight toothed gears are used for the transmission of the movement from the input
shaft to the output shaft.

Revolution ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:9400 result from the use of different combinations of
gear wheels between the input shaft and the output shaft, which is connected to the cams operating the
switches.
Transmission and gear driving shafts are made of stainless steel to prevent oxidation and wear. The gear wheels
and the driving bushes are made of self-lubricating thermoplastic material, suitably chosen to reduce the wear
to a minimum and to maintain the accuracy of the couplings over time. The die-cast aluminium base of the limit
switch features high resistance and has ball bearings optimising the shaft rotation and preventing rubbing.

Each cam can be set with great accuracy thanks to the cam adjusting screws. The auxiliary switches
are of a positive opening type, thus suitable for safety functions.
The cam-switch sets can be substituted for potentiometers suitable for the connection to electronic equipment.
Each output of the limit switch can be set with a different revolution ratio to allow for a diversified control of
the machinery to meet special requirements.

Materials and components are wear resistant and protect the equipment against water and dust.
The limit switch is available with a flange for direct coupling to the motor and can be customised with labels
and colours according to the customer’s requirements.
