Rotary switches have adjustable stop positions
Grayhill has a new selection of versatile rotary switches with adjustable stop-pins, which allow the number of 'stop' positions to be altered.
Gray-coded rotaries break the code
Grayhill rotary switches that use Gray code have significant advantages over BCD-coded products.
In the 0.25in shaft size, it is particularly suited to machine tools, test equipment and military applications.
These switches are well suited for use with large knobs and dials.
There's a wide choice of switches and mounting options within the 71 range, including: a 90-degree-mounting version with terminals from one side and 30-degree and 36-degree angles of throw; a dual, concentric-shaft option which allows the function of two rotary switches to be fitted in the panel space of a single switch; and a sealed 90-degree-mounting option which does not need to be hand soldered.
The Grayhill 26 Series offers the same 0.25in shaft size with either BCD or grey-coded output.
This is well suited to machine tool and military applications that may require large control knobs or are prone to rough treatment.
Finally, the Series 50 and 51 offer wide shaft sizes where only a single deck is required.
Each rotary switch can handle a maximum of 0.25A and up to 12 switching positions.
There is also a wide choice of shaft and bushing sizes depending on the desired application. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
