Greenco’s Reed Switch consists of a hermetically sealed glass capsule containing two cantilevered ferromagnetic blades. The blades come together and close the electrical circuit whenever the magnet, mounted on the piston, passes under the response area of the switch. An integral arc suppressing resistor-capacitor circuit protects blade contacts from voltage spikes, thereby extending cycle life. The lead wires are shielded to protect against sending or receiving induced currents as false signals. The shield may be “drained” using un-insulated third wire. An ohmmeter is recommended to test the switch function. DO NOT USE an incandescent light bulb as high in-rush may damage the switch. Be sure to connect the reed switch to the power source through a load. Direct connection of the switch may cause damage to the internal elements of the switch. To prevent electric shock, always shut off power supply before handling electric wire leads. The comprehensive design of the cylinder barrel thickness and mass of magnet, coupled with low profile switch provides sensitivity, dependability, repeatability and desired response time. PROXIMITY and GO® switches also available. Contact factory for additional information.

Reed Switches are available on all models of Cable-trol ®
and Trac-trol ®.

* Model 50 Cable-trol ® can achieve end stroke sensing
without any increased length, consult factory.
 

The Trac-trol ® trolley contains four independent linear bearings for maximum load bearing capabilities. Each standard bearing contains a set of continuously re-circulating precision steel balls for low friction and superior wear resistance. The load is actually being rolled freely along the two hardened steel guide rods. Optional stainless steel guide rods and self lubricating polymeric linear bearings are also available (consult factory.)

The 20C repair kit consists of two cable subassemblies and all the seals for any one model of Cable-Trol ® or Trac-Trol ® cylinder. When ordering you must specify the complete model number and serial number of the unit the repair kit is to be used on.
