GF4C

Rotary Camme Limit Switch

GF4C

Rotary limit switch used to control and measure the movement of industrial machines or the position of the nacelle or pitch angle of wind turbines.

  • It consists of a gear motor that transfers movement to the cams and the other movement detection devices through a primary input reduction stage (worm gear and helical toothed gear) and one or more secondary output stages.
  • Accurate adjustment of cams by means of screws.
  • Positive opening NC contacts for safety functions.
  • Mechanical life of switches: up to 1 million operations.
  • IP protection degree: GF4C is classified IP65.
  • Extreme temperature resistance: -25°C to +70°C.
  • It features transmission and gear driving shafts made of stainless steel, self-lubricating technopolymer gears and driving bushes and sintered bronze bushes moulded into the base of the limit switch to prevent rubbing against plastic material.
  • All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust.
