Working operation of contact block 16 with independent contacts

The contact block 16 has two NC contacts, both with positive opening activated independently according to the lever turning direction.

Adjustable levers

In switches with revolving lever it is possible to adjust the lever with 10° steps for the whole 360° range. The positive movement transmission is always guaranteed thanks to the particular geometrical coupling between the lever and the revolving shaft as prescribed for safety applications by the German standard BG-GSET-15.

Rotating heads

In all switches, it is possible to rotate the head in 90° steps.

Overturning levers

It’s possible to fasten the lever on switches on straight or reverse side, maintaining the positive coupling. In this way it is possible to obtain two different work plans of the lever.

Unidirectional heads

In the switches with revolving lever, it is possible to select the directional operation by removing the four screws of the head and revolving the internal piston (contact block 16 excluded).
