Rotary Cam Switch GSW100E Leonard Engineering GmbH

LEONARD rotary switches GSW100E (see figure 1.2.1 and 1.2.2) are cased in housings made of cast aluminum and fitted out with electronic switching elements and switch drums. The technical data of all available switching elements are listed in figure 1.0.4. The rotary cam switches GSW100E are normally available with 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 28 switching elements. The cam shaft (spindle) comes out on both sides of the housing so that several switches can be coupled together. The second end of the shaft, which is normally unused, is protected by a safety cover. The transparent safety cover has some index marks for the scale ring underneath. The cam shaft is mounted in two deep groove ball bearings and maintenance-free.

To actuate the  individual switching elements the cam shaft is fitted with switch drums – in opposite to other rotary cam switches with at least 180! cam disk sets. The new design of these switch drums consists of plastic drums incorporating a thin steel foil which can be extended or retracted to any extent required. The switch drums are arranged in a pitch of 15 mm (see figure 1.2.5). Because of the reduction of the interval from 20 to 15 mm compared with the rotary cam switch GSW100 and GSW100M, the number of switching points in the same size of housing could be increased. All mounting dimensions as well as the length and the centre height of the cam shaft are identical with the LEONARD rotary cam switches GSW100 and GSW100M. Therefore the switches are interchangeable at any time.
