Description
FEATURES
• It consists of a gear motor that transfers movement to the cams and to the other movement detection devices through a primary input reduction stage (worm gear and helical
toothed gear) and one or more secondary output stages (pairs of straight toothed gears).
• Accurate adjustment of cams by means of screws.
• Positive opening NC contacts for safety functions.
• Mechanical life of switches: up to 10 million operations.
• IP protection degree: Fox is classified IP 65 / IP 66 / IP 67 / IP 69K.
• NEMA protection degree: Fox is classified Type 4X (cULus marked versions).
• Extreme temperature resistance: -40°C to +80°C.
• It features transmission and gear driving shafts made of stainless steel AISI 430F or AISI 303, worm gear transmission shaft rotating on ball bearings, self-lubricating technopolymer gears and driving bushes, technopolymer base and cover.
• All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust.
OPTIONS
• Revolution ratios from 1:3 to 1:2870, achieved by combining different secondary output stages.
• Snap action switches with 1NO+1NC contacts or slow action switches with 1NC contact.
• It can be equipped with a cam set (with up to 5 switches) and potentiometers, encoders, Yankee absolute encoders.
