Cam angle and its adjustment

6.1 Working angle of cam plate
There are two types and eight types of cam plates, namely the first type has seven types such as la, ld...: g. There is only one type of Class II, and its working angle and corresponding speed of the limit switch spindle are shown in Table 4.

6.2 Adjustment of the working position of the cam plate group
The adjustment of the working position of the cam plate group should be carried out according to the working program requirements of each control circuit. And the starting and ending positions of their respective working programs are achieved by the different angles formed by each cam plate group (two), so adjustments can only be made on the premise of determining the working angles of each cam plate group.  
For example, when the working starting angle of a certain contact closure interval is 43.7 ° and the ending angle is 138.9 °, how to adjust the cam plate group using the II wheel cam plate?  
Due to the narrow protruding part of the Type II cam plate, which is visually noticeable and easy to adjust, the starting angle value is taken as 43.7 ° -13.7 °=30 °, and the ending angle value is taken as 138.9 °+13.7=152.6 ° Then align the 30 ° starting point mark on the dial with the notch on the support as shown in Figure 3. Adjust the center of one cam part in the adjustable cam group to be in line with the notches on the two support plates, and adjust the end working position of the other cam plate according to this method.  
Regarding the determination of the starting and ending intervals for the closure of each control circuit contact, the "0 point" on the dial can be used as the unified calculation origin, and the data listed in Table 4 can be calculated using the proportional distribution method.
6.3 Adjustments and Precautions
6.3.1 Adjustment
The adjustment operation method of the cam plate is shown in Figure 4.
6.3.2 Precautions
a、 When loosening the round nut, do not allow the cam plate to rotate freely.
b、 After all the cam groups have been adjusted and verified to be correct, they must be tightened with round nuts to prevent loosening and misalignment.

Installation and Inspection

7.1 Installation
7.2 Product Installation
There are two installation forms for limit switches: a. Installation of shaft end flange; b、 The bottom of the shell is installed horizontally. No matter what form of installation is used, it is necessary to ensure that the axis of the crane rotating mechanism coincides with the input axis of the limit switch to prevent additional stress caused by installation errors. The installation dimensions are shown in Figure 1.
7.1.2 Installation of wires and cables
The limit switch is equipped with three wire inlet and outlet holes, as shown in Figure 1 for their positions and dimensions. The selected inlet and outlet holes must be sealed at the end of the wire installation to meet IP64 requirements. Unused holes must also be tightened with screw plugs.
7.2 Inspection
7.2.1 Inspection before installation
Before installation, it is necessary to check the rotational flexibility of the limit switch and whether other components are in normal working condition.
7.2.2 Pre operation inspection
Before the limit switch is put into operation, it is necessary to first verify whether the control system that adjusts the limit switch can accurately control it and make necessary adjustments.  
Repair
8.1 Maintenance
The maintenance cycle of the limit switch should be carried out simultaneously with the maintenance of the crane electrical system. In addition to conducting necessary inspections and repairs, ZG-3 calcium based grease should be applied to parts with mechanical motion friction. And replace the damaged contact components (microswitches).
Explanation: Users who choose speed ratios beyond the basic specifications can place special orders.
