QUICK BREAK POWER LIMIT SWITCH

General Information

Euclid quick break limit switches for
hoists are normally closed by the
weight of the striking lever. The
movement of the lever on its upward
travel, when engaged by the hoist
hook block on its upward travel,
causes the switch to quickly break the
circuit to the motor with very little up­ward movement of the crane hook.
The switch is automatically reset by
the weight of the striking lever when
the hook is lowered.

♦ NEMA & CEMA ratings 1, 3, 4, 9

general purpose, weather proof, wa­tertight, explosion-proof enclosures.

♦ Mill duty construction.

♦ Reversible finger tips and seg-

♦ Easy maintenance and access to

fingers, contact tips, drum segments
and tension springs.

♦ Moving and stationary contacts

are made from hard drawn copper.

♦ Automatic reset.

Application

Euclid quick break hoist limit switches
are used with reversing drum and
magnetic controllers on cranes and
hoists, either as a main line limit
switch or as a pilot circuit limit switch
to operate magnetic contactors in
main line motor circuits.

Description

There are two general types of main
line limit switches - - - the standard
and the plugging type. The plugging
limit switch utilizes the motor to stop
the upward travel by plugging the mo­tor when the limit switch is tripped.
This is accomplished by the switch
quickly reversing two lines of the mo­tor, plugging it to a stop and then low­ering the hook until the limit switch
resets. Some motors require plugging
resistors when such a limit switch is
