The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 803 Rotating Cam Limit Switches operate with a current range of 10 to 25 Amps and an approximate shaft speed of 150 RPM. It is important to recall that all the models come with a different number of cam operators, and the most common number of switches is in the 2 to 12 range. Depending on the model, these devices come with different enclosures. These can be the type 1 enclosures for general purposes and the type 4 and 13 enclosures that protect the units against water, dust, and oil. The recommended operating temperature must be in the range of -30 to 66 degrees Celsius. If these devices are going to be used at a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius, these devices should not have any water or fluids around them that might freeze and impede contact operations.
