Mechanical cam switches
Mechanical sensors for positioning and limit switching
Position and series position switches are classics in the metalworking industry and vehicle manufacturing worldwide. They have proven themselves in automation for decades.
They are used as command devices for automatic control systems, for positioning and for limit switching. On machine tools and presses, in flexible production centers, robots, assembly and conveyor systems.
Their proven design principle and many possible switching operations as well as consistent monitoring ensure consistently high quality and reliability.
You can choose from various plunger designs in different series: Chisel, ball, roller bearing, roller and chisel with wiper plate. A large number of connection variants are also available.
