Description
The Rotacam is heavy-duty, hinge-actuated safety-interlock switch. It can be used as, or connected to, the existing hinge pin for direct operation of the switch. Machine power is isolated when the guard has been opened just 5°. For applications requiring a larger degree of operation, the internal cam can be adjusted from 5…11°.
|
IMPORTANT: After adjustment, the cam must be secured in position with the supplied cam locking pin to ensure optimal performance. |
The Rotacam is available with two N.C. safety contacts and one N.O. auxiliary contact. The switch includes the necessary safety-related functions, such as forced-guided contacts and a tamper-resistant mechanism, allowing machinery to be safeguarded in compliance with the machinery directive.
The die-cast housing is sealed to IP 66 and features one M20 conduit entry (1/2 inch NPT and connector style also available). Two different shaft lengths of 30 mm and 85 mm can also be specified.
EX and Pneumatic styles of Rotacam are also available; see the Explosion Proof Switches section for more information.
