The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District's Willamette Valley Project (WVP) consists of several dams. The WVP requires rotary limit switches for head gates on one of its dams. To prevent harm to people and damage to property, it may be necessary to close the penstock, the entrance for water to the generator. The closure device is called the head gate. The control system that is used to raise (open) and lower (close) the head gate depends upon signals that indicate the position of the gate. These signals come from the limit switch. If these signals are not reliable, the control system will malfunction and damage the hoisting equipment, the gate, and possibly the dam itself. The Reliability of the limit switch is crucial to reliable operation of the head gate. The existing limit switches are over 50 years old, in poor condition and due for replacement. The rotary limit switches must satisfy the following requirements: CAM COUNT: - 8 minimum CAM CONFIGURATION: - All cams shall be mounted on a common shaft. CAM ADJUSTABILITY: - 4 to 356 degrees SWITCH CONFIGURATION: - DPDT - all cams - All shall be snap action - Repeatability +-.5 degrees of cam rotation - Make current @ 115Vac 30A, inductive, 10A resistive loads - Break current @ 115Vac: 3A, inductive, 10A resistive loads - Continuous current AC/DC: 10A GEARBOX: - 6:1 reduction ratio (1 cam rotation for every 6 input shaft rotations) - Input shaft to be parallel with cam shaft. - Offset of the input shaft with respect to the cam shaft, if any, shall only be to the right of the cam shaft when its normal mounting position and viewed from the input shaft end of the device.
