Mechanically actuated force control switches protect cranes, hoists, and other lifting machinery against weight or force from slack and overloads. These switches are crucial as they act as sensing devices for force or weight, but do not include an indicator in their system. Instead, they cut off power when they detect an overload condition or activate alarm lights, buzzers, or klaxons to alert users to the possibility of an impending overload.
Contact R.D. Jacobs Company for more information about how these force control switches work. We specialize in their installation and maintenance to ensure efficiency and quality project completions.
Dyna-Switch
Our Dillon load limit Dyna-Switches offer an economical solution for process control weighing, automation, and overload applications where electrical circuits must be activated based on the load. They are available in capacities ranging from 100 lbs. to 50,000 lbs., with one to four Dillon force control switches that can be infinitely adjusted throughout the entire range by one of our technicians.
Features
Flexible Applications - The force beam sensing devices at the core of Dyna-Switch measure either tension or compression force.
Multitask Instruments - Each force beam can hold one to four switches, and each has distinct load settings; for example, one Dyna-Switch can operate up to four different functions or combinations, including slack line detection.
Automation Controls - The Dillon Dyna-Switch is a straight weighing device that can also automate processes.
Custom Setting - Dyna products are designed and arrive at your shop with switches set to your specifications.
Safety - Its force beams and attachments have a 5:1 ultimate safety factor (4.5:1 for metric models).
