Gemco Rotary Limit Switches

Our range of Geared Rotary Limit Switches is designed for longevity. Units include all metal gearing and switches that are rated for 15 million operations. 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 overtravel.

Gemco 2000 Series Watertight Rotary Limit Switches

Manufactured with quality components that make each Rotary Limit Switch highly reliable.

The 1/2” input shaft drives a bronze gear which rotates the cam block. The cam block houses independently adjustable cams that actuate the precision type snap action switches. Each switch can be provided with one to four single pole, double throw switches or a maximum of two double pole, double throw switches for versatility of control circuits. No minimum speed is specified because snap action contacts are used. Maximum rated speed of the worm shaft is 1000 rpm and can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise.

Gemco 2006 Series Rotary Limit Switch

The 2006 K Type Series Rotary Limit Switch is suitable for applications requiring ratios from 5:1 to 1080:1 and is available in configurations with either two or four circuits. The 2006 Series is commonly used in hoists, elevating jack mechanisms, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, conveyors, door operators and rotary operators where motion is expressed in shaft rotation.

The primary purpose of the limit switch is to control the intermediate or end limits of a linear or rotary motion. The limit switch is often used as a safety device to protect against accidental damage to equipment.
