FRS

Rotary Limit Switch

FRS

The rotary limit switch Driver FRS Series is a device used to control the movement of construction machines and industrial machines in general.

It is connected via its shaft to a motor in a manner that, after a programmed number of revolutions, the cams cause the intervention of the internal contacts. The adjustment of the cams, innovative and precise, allows to determine the point of operation of the microswitches in a linear and micrometric.

There is a wide range of gear ratios and alternatively you can mount a series of sensors corner which realize multiple linear outputs. The contacts are in positive opening (EN 60947-5-1) in order to increase the safety of the people.

A large number of accessories completes the range of the limit switch, facilitating its use.

Customized Executions

FRS limit switches can be customized according to the order quantity. Specific customizations:
  • shafts of different lengths
  • different kinds of switches
  • side cable exits
  • cams of different profiles
  • customized labels
  • cover in customized colour

Accessories Range

The range of the accessories integrates and completes the limit switches series and facilitates their use according to particular requirements. A series of cog wheels, a male connection and a flexible shaft are the interfaces which have specifically been designed in order to transmit the motion easily from the motor shaft to the limit switch shaft. The fitting of a potentiometer, an encoder or another position sensor close to the micro switch group involves a linear exit in the same box.

Cog Wheels

A series of cog wheels of different diameters allows you an easy joining through pinions and belts.

Available wheels:
  • Module 5 with 12 teeth
  • Module 6 with 11 teeth
  • Module 8 with 12 teeth
  • Module 10 with 12 teeth
  • Module 12 with 10 teeth
  • Module 12 with 12 teeth
  • Module 14 with 10 teeth
  • Module 16 with 10 teeth
  • Module 18 with 10 teeth
  • Module 20 with 8 teeth
  • Module 20 with 11 teeth

Male Connection

The male connection helps the joining to motors or reducing gears.

Flexible Shaft

The flexible shaft allows you to couple the shafts that are not perfectly aligned.

Flange

An interface flange allows the limit switch to be fixed without need of a special fixing plate.
