Maintenance

These devices require little maintenance, but routine visual
inspection is recommended to keep foreign debris from
collecting on the exterior actuators and rollers. Removing the
operator head is not recommended as loose internal
components may be lost or improperly re-installed.

Actuation Guidelines

The method of actuation and over travel has significant
influence on the service life of the limit switch. To maximize
the service life, it is recommended to provide an actuator with
a 30° pressure angle and a surface hardness of Rc-45 max.

Lever Positioning

Some rotary switches are supplied with levers that are
mechanically coupled to the actuating shaft. The lever may be
removed and re-installed to adjust cam tracking. See table
below for torque recommendations.
