5.3 Design, task and function of the assembly groups
The limit switch consists of a gear part and one or two switch parts (design A or design B), which are firmly fitted
to each other.
The speed of the last gear part will be transferred via positive locking on the switching shaft. The cam discs
fastened to the switching shaft for operation of the contacts can be adjusted infinitely and independently from
each other. As additional equipment, a block adjustment can be fitted, whereby the cam discs that can be individually adjusted to each other can be adjusted as a block.
According to the required contact arrangement, cam discs with 40° or 180°can be fitted − cams are fitted in series and all other degree values are fitted as special equipment. The switch settings of the cam discs can be
adjusted by the customer, see section 6.6.
The gearbox is a combination of worm and spur gears. For the gearbox with 35 nominal revolutions, a worm
gear reduction is installed. The drive shaft is installed transversely to the switching shaft and can be equipped
with an encoder as a special shaft with a second shaft end for 1:1 drive. The gear wheels installed are a brasssteel combination. The lubrication applied during assembly is sufficient for lifetime lubrication.
For the shaft bearing, maintenance-free grooved ball bearings are fitted. A check of the lubrication is not necessary.
The housing is made of salt water resistant aluminium. The cover is sealed to the gearbox housing with O-rings.
The switch housing complies with protection class IP 65 in accordance with EN 60529.

5.3.1Electrical connections
All contact connectors can be found within the switch housing. The earth conductor for grounding the housing
can be found on the bearing plate. The electrical connections for contact connectors and earth conductors occur
via screw connections. The bores for cable entry points are closed with blind plugs for delivery of the switch.
The bores can be found in the gearbox housing. Depending on the cable type used, the corresponding blind
plugs are replaced through cable entry points by the customer. The cable ends reach the contacts via the cable
entry point on the connecting terminals. Each contact is provided with protection against accidental contact.
NOTE
For contact 51, the following applies:
The protection against accidental contact must be removed for wiring.

Fig. 9
aGearbox sidebEquivalent circuit diagram
*Connection voltage according to the version
used: 12 – 36V AC/DC or 110 – 250V AC/DC
The heating serves to prevent water condensation in the switch room. This heating is designed so that according to the voltage, a heat output of approx. 2,5 Watts or 4 Watts is available. Depending on the order, the corresponding supply voltage amounts to 12 − 36V AC/DC or 110 − 250V AC/DC. The PTC heating is self-regulating
and temperature-limiting, and thus leads to an automatic adjustment to the ambient temperature.

6.6.7Block adjustment "BFV"
A cam disc group is assigned to each contact, consisting of a cam disc (1), adjustable cam (2), adjustment
worm (3) and toothed spacer (4). The adjustable cam (2) is connected via positive locking to the block
adjustment sleeve (6) over the spacer (4). The adjustment worm (3) with a self-locking feature transfers the
torque further by means of positive locking from the adjustable cam (2) to the toothing of the cam disc (1). The
cam disc (1) can be adjusted by rotation of the adjustment worm (3) at a ratio of 108:1 (1 revolution of the
adjustment worm = 3,333° on the cam disc) in peripheral direction. The effective cam angle (10) and the usable
angle of the cam disc (11) are shown in the figure. x* and y* depict the views.
Adjusting individual cam discs
To adjust the switching points, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the capstan nut (7).
2. Tighten the capstan nut (7) to a tightening torque of 2,5 Nm.
3. Using a screw driver, max. width of 4 mm, turn the screw on the adjustment worm (3) until
