  • Patent number: 4889964
    Abstract: The rotating cam limit switch includes a hub, a position screw arm, a position screw, a position wheel, a retractable cam, a dwell wheel, a dwell screw, a dwell screw arm, a spring wave washer and a locking ring. The hub is to be mounted on a rotating shaft which is to activate a non-rotating switch assembly. Near a first axial end, an integral position screw arm and position flange extend radially from the integral hub. The position screw arm carries a position screw, which is snap fitted onto the arm, which operatively engages the position wheel rotatably mounted on the hub next to the position screw arm. The dwell wheel is also rotatably mounted with respect to the hub. The dwell wheel is operatively engaged by the dwell screw carried by the dwell screw arm integrally formed with a dwell flange. The dwell screw arm is fixed to the hub by hub a anti-rotation device. The wave washer and the locking ring, mounted near a second axial end of the hub, compress the rotating components together.

  • Patent number: 4885437
    Abstract: The rotating cam limit switch includes a hub, a position screw area, a position screw, a position wheel, a retractable cam, a dwell wheel, a dwell screw, a dwell screw arm, a spring wave washer and a locking ring. The hub is to be mounted on a rotating shaft which is to activate a non-rotating switch assembly. Near a first axial end, an integral position screw arm and position flange extend radially from the integral hub. The position screw arm carries a position screw, which is snap fitted onto the arm, which operatively engages the position wheel rotatably mounted on the hub next to the position screw arm. The dwell wheel is rotatably mounted on the position wheel. The dwell wheel is operatively engaged by the dwell screw carried by the dwell screw arm integrally formed with a dwell flange. The dwell screw arm is rotatable on the hub but fixed to the position wheel. The wave washer and the locking ring, mounted near a second axial end of the hub, compress the rotating components together.
