EATON AT4 Series Rotary Driven Limit Switches


Eaton AT4 Series rotary driven limit switches are activated by the rotary motion of a machine component (shaft or cam). They feature a switch mechanism and a rotary actuator and are useful in industrial machinery, automation systems and process control applications.

Working Mechanism

  • Rotary driven limit switches use the rotary motion of a machine component to activate a switch mechanism.
  • The rotary actuator (connected to the rotating component) moves a switch mechanism to the 'on' or 'off' position as the component rotates.
  • This movement is caused by a cam or similar mechanism connected to the rotating component.
  • When the cam reaches a certain point, it causes the switch mechanism to change position, which signals the start or end of a particular operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a rotary driven limit switch different from a regular limit switch?

A regular limit switch is activated by linear motion, such as a moving part pushing a button, whereas the rotary driven limit switch is activated by rotary motion, like the rotation of a shaft or cam.

How to calibrate rotary driven limit switches?

Users can caliberate these switches by adjusting the position of the switch mechanism relative to the rotary actuator or by adjusting the cam position, allowing the switch to activate at the correct point in the rotary motion of the component.

Can rotary driven limit switches be used for position sensing?

Yes, rotary driven limit switches can be used for position sensing, indicating the position of a component or mechanism within a machine or system.
