Description
A heavy-duty hinge actuated safety interlock switch, the Rotacam shaft
can be used as, or connected to, the existing hinge pin for direct
operation of the switch. Machine power is isolated when the guard
has been opened just 5°. For applications requiring a larger degree of
operation the internal cam can be adjusted from 5° to 11°.
Note:
After adjustment, the cam must be secured in position with the

supplied cam locking pin to ensure optimal performance.
The Rotacam is available with two N.C. safety contacts and one N.O.
auxiliary contact. The switch includes the necessary safety related
functions, such as forced guided contacts and a tamper resistant
mechanism, allowing machinery to be safeguarded in compliance
with the machinery directive.
The die-cast housing is sealed to IP66 and features one M20 conduit
entry (1/2in NPT and connector style also available). Two different
shaft lengths of 30mm and 85mm can also be specified.
EX and Pneumatic styles of Rotacam are also available; see the
Explosion Proof
section on page 16-1 for more information.
Features
• Can be used as a hinge pin on light and medium weight guard
doors
• Isolates power within 5° of door movement
• Degree of operation can be customized with adjustable cam
• Robust die-cast case, ideal for heavy duty applications
• Contacts, 2 N.C. & 1 N.O.
Note:
The safety contacts of the Guardmaster switches are described as normally
closed (N.C.) i.e., with the guard closed, actuator in place (where relevant) and the
machine able to be started.
Fixing Methods
Roll Pin
Pre-Bored
The actuator shaft is pre-bored
allowing the existing hinge pin to be
utilised as the flexing point.
Solid Shaft
The solid actuator shaft can be
used as the hinge pin on certain
guards.
