Electrical Switches
Description
The GEMCO Precision Snap Switches are designed
for industrial duty applications where compact
size, complete reliability and millions of trouble free
operations are required.
The housing is molded material which has excellent
resistance to arcing and carbon tracking. The
operating button is of molded nylon, a material with
excellent wear characteristics.
The button is well guided at the top and bottom to
insure accurate repeatability and minimum wear.
Any combination of single-pole double-throw or
double-pole double-throw snap action switches can
be supplied with the GEMCO Rotating Cam Limit
Switch.
NOTE: Refer to Catalog Section 1950 for detailed
information pertaining to all Standard and Special
Switch Options.
