Cam switch

Schuckert also supplied the "carbon control switch" designed by Natalis since 1901 with copper-carbon switching devices with spark-blowers (common spark blowers for direct current or single-spark blowers for direct and alternating current).

The main current cam switch retained some significance, even when the rifle control pushed it where it was more economical.

The large number of possible combinations and the extensive additional equipment as characteristic features were responsible for the later development of cam switches as an industrial standard.

Mr. Aldrich (Charlie to most) was credited with the design of the PMC Cam Switch and was the creative and innovative individual behind the scenes, whereas Leon was responsible for the business side of the company.

The uniqueness of our products is in the air design for weight and size and the ease of adjustment of the cam mechanisms.

The patented cam mechanisms on each individual stack allow to accurately set desired angles even under conditions of corresponding shad linkage variations, especially when working with detentes.

We design and manufacture our own gear boxes in combination with our cam switches and procured synchros and/or potentiometeres.

External screwdriver adjustments permit rapid setting of any desired switch make angle.

Designed for timing, indication, control, computation and other applications where snap action switching is required, it permits the instrument and servo designer to meet specific application requirements through use of a single component that can be mounted in a gear assembly in a manner similar to synchros, potentiometers and other rotating shaft components.

Conveniently located locking screws maintain switch settings under all conditions of shock and vibration encountered by military equipment.
