Why replace rotary limit switch with electronic position switch?

Heavy industry places stringent demands on the reliability and longevity of installed components. Experience indicates that rotary cam limit switches, still prevalent in many industrial settings for position monitoring, fail to meet all safety, precision, and user-friendliness criteria.

For instance, rotary cam switches often suffer from poor switching accuracy and cumbersome adjustment processes for switching points. This inefficiency disrupts industrial processes, leading to stoppages and extended downtimes due to the extra time and effort required for precise positioning.

Electronic position switches offer flexible position range monitoring solutions compared to rotary cam limit switches. As hoist limit switches they find applications in hoisting gear, crane technology, mining operations, as well as screw downs and side guides in steelworks. 

Electronic position switches frequently serve as straightforward replacements in legacy systems with rotary cam switches. Additionally, they seamlessly integrate into new systems. These switches ensure high accuracy and simplify system calibration through presets, easy switching point adjustments, and straightforward data storage.
