FAQ for Position Detectors

Drum-type switches are sometimes disconnected from the equipment for maintenance.

However, repositioning them correctly during reinstallation can be difficult.

Do you have any recommended method to facilitate proper alignment?

By providing an optional zero-point adjustment mechanism, alignment during reinstallation can be performed easily.

This mechanism allows the shaft to be disengaged from the cam assembly, eliminating the need to readjust the entire cam system.

What is the maximum operating temperature of the drum type limit switch?

The maximum operating temperature is 120°C.

Please contact us if you require higher temperature resistance.

Is it possible to add a relay contact output on the position transmitter?

Yes.

This function can be achieved by adding a transmitter to the drum-type limit switch.

What is the output voltage of the displacement detector?

The output voltage is 0–90 V at a displacement angle of ±60°.

What is the replacement model for the YVGCM-790WNS?

Recommended replacement model: YVGC-500WNS (with a mating base)

Differences from YVGCM-790WNS:

• Displacement angle: ±60° (YVGCM-790WNS: ±100°)
• Number of contacts: One output (YVGCM-790WNS: Two outputs)
