Applications
GEMCO’s all new Micro-Adjust Rotating Cam
Limit Switch is a pilot device used for heavy
duty material handling mechanisms, mechanical
presses,* packaging machines, rotary table, and in
many other applications where accurate, repetitive,
and sequential operations are required in control
circuitry.

through a roller chain, gear train, or directly, the
GEMCO Rotating Cam Limit Switch makes it
possible to open or close independent circuits at
any desired angular position.
