Standard duty, XRBA
Functions
These switches are designed to monitor the movement of an object via an input drive
shaft coupled to the actuator. Detection of position is ensured by a system of
independently adjustable cams which actuate the electrical contact blocks.
They are usually used for applications where it is either impossible or impractical to
mount standard type position sensors that are actuated directly by the moving object.
Main applications:
b position control of moving parts of hoisting or materials handling equipment
(winches, travelling cranes, gantries, cranes, rotary excavators, etc.).
b liquid level control in pumping systems.

Operation
The input drive shaft, which is coupled to the machine part being controlled, is
normally fitted on the right-hand side. This transmits the movement by means of a
worm screw and reduction gear to a set of 4 or 6 independent cams which, in turn,
operate the contact blocks.
A choice of 3 cam types (20, 50 and 80) enables a wide range of cam
arrangements to be achieved.
The cams are easily accessible and individual adjustment of the cams is a simple
operation, without risk of affecting the setting of adjacent cams.
As an option, a potentiometer can be fitted in order to provide an analogue output.

Functions
These switches are designed to monitor the movement of an object via an input drive
shaft coupled to the actuator. Detection of position is ensured by a system of
adjustable fingers which actuate the electrical contact blocks.
They are usually used for applications where it is either impossible or impractical to
mount standard type position sensors that are actuated directly by the moving object.
Main applications:
b position control of moving parts of hoisting or materials handling equipment
(winches, travelling cranes, gantries, cranes, rotary excavators, etc.),
b liquid level control in pumping systems.
Description
1 Input drive shaft, with

facilities for attaching chain
sprocket.
2 2-pinion primary gearbox,
with choice of reduction
ratio.
3 Internally threaded shaft,
driven via gearbox, fitted
with adjustable fingers
which actuate the electrical
contact blocks.
4 Fixed lead screw, along
which threaded shaft
travels.
5 Snap action contact blocks,
actuated by fingers.
Operation
Due to the variable composition 2-pinion primary gearbox, multiple choices of
reduction ratio between the input drive shaft and the threaded shaft, which operates
the finger actuators, are possible.
The finger actuators, clamped to the rotating threaded shaft, describe a helical path
and operate the contacts as and when they are engaged along its length of travel
(6 turns maximum).
To avoid damage at the end of travel of the threaded shaft, a clutch is incorporated
in the drive mechanism (patented feature).

Differential drive units
Functions
534928
This unit enables the monitoring of any speed difference between 2 movements
which, under normal circumstances, should be identical. Any difference in speed is
transmitted to an XR2 screw limit switch which, in turn, re-establishes correct
operation.
Main applications:
b Controlling movement of grabs on cranes and travelling cranes.
b Liquid level control in decantation tanks.
b Monitoring relative difference between 2 moving parts.
ZR2FAp
Operation
M1
M2
The difference in rotational speeds of shafts M1 and M2, which are connected to
motors or capstans, is transferred to a set of internal pinions which, in turn, control
the rotation of shaft S which is connected to one or more screw limit switches.

Schematic representation

Relationship between rotational directions

If the rotation of shafts M1 and M2 is synchronised, shaft S does not turn.
If the rotation of shafts M1 and M2 is out of synchronisation, shaft S turns.
This relationship is indicated either by white arrows or black arrows (each shaft
having 2 possible directions of rotation).
The rotational direction of shaft S is indicated by the arrow on shaft S immediately
below the arrow on shaft M which represents the highest rotational speed (see
figures 1 and 2).
M1 = M2: S does not turn
M1 M2: S turns
Note
In both cases, the rotational speed ratio between shafts M and S is 2/1. It is important
to know the maximum number of turns or differential travel that the screw limit switch
must control (if necessary, both sides of its initial setting).
References
The differential units are supplied with bare shafts fitted with keyed discs, ready for
the attachment of numerous types of coupling. They are dust and damp-proof and
the internal mechanism is maintenance free. All 3 shafts are steel and are needle
roller bearing mounted. A set of duplicate cast steel pinions ensure the accuracy of
the differential. The cover is both glued and screwed to the housing.

Overtravel limit switches
Presentation
For power circuits, XF9
Functions
The overtravel limit switches for power circuit switching are specifically designed to
ensure the safety of hoisting equipment.
They directly break the power supply to the hoist motor if the load being handled
accidentally exceeds the operating limits of the equipment.
Their mechanism is designed to ensure breakage of the power supply in the event
of a malfunction and therefore, an overtravel limit switch cannot be used in place of
an end of travel limit switch. It must only be used as a back-up device in the event of
failure of the latter, or any other component forming part of an automated control
circuit monitoring for excessive overtravel.
Description
XF9Dppp overtravel limit switches are housed in an aluminium alloy case.
XF9Fppp overtravel limit switches are housed in a sheet steel enclosure.
They are equipped with power contacts from Schneider Electric contactors.
Operation
Mounting and operating precautions
It is recommended that the overtravel limit switch be connected as near as possible
to the motor, in order to minimise the risk of shunting.
The switch must be positioned in such a manner so as to avoid any damage in the
event of the load exceeding the end of travel limits.
In order to ensure positive operation, the operating lever of the overtravel limit
switch must be actuated directly by the moving part being monitored. It is essential
that the use of any flexible or deformable intermediate actuators be avoided.
Manual reset switches - resetting after tripping

b Before resetting the overtravel limit switch ensure that the cause of its tripping is
located and rectified.
b Rotate and hold lever up against end stop.
b Simultaneously press the reset button (XF9D), using accessory included with
switch, or operate the reset lever (XF9F) and turn the control station switch away
from the trip position.
b Rotate lever back to its initial position.
