GE IC9445C208 Rotary Cam Limit Switch

Product Description

IC9445C208 is a heavy‑duty shaft‑driven rotary cam limit switch from GE IC9445 series. It is mechanically coupled to rotating shafts of cranes, hoists, winches and conveyor equipment, 

triggering electrical contact outputs at preset angular positions to restrict travel range, prevent over‑winding and execute safety stop commands. Multiple adjustable cam discs allow users to set 

independent switching‑points for multi‑stage position control. Widely used in port machinery, steel‑plant overhead cranes, mine hoisting gear and material‑handling safety‑control circuits.
