A B A B Adjustable levers In switches with revolving lever it is possible to adjust the lever with steps for the whole 60 range. The positive movement transmission is always guaranteed thanks to the particular geometrical coupling between the lever and the revolving shaft as prescribed for safety applications by the German standard BG-GS- ET-. Unidirectional heads Overturning levers It s possible to fasten the lever on switches on straight or reverse side, maintaining the positive coupling. In this way it is possible to obtain two different work plans of the lever. Rotating heads In all switches, it is possible to rotate the head in 90 steps. In the switches with revolving lever, it is possible to select the directional operation by removing the four screws of the head and revolving the internal piston.

The interference could happen or not according to the actuator and the head fixing position. - The actuator cannot be oriented to inside direction because it will mechanically interfere with the switch head.
