Double acting air cylinder with solenoid valve provided for actuating reversal mechanism. Proximity sensors actuate air cylinder at end limits. Pneumatic reversal mechanism enables operation of Traverse unit in clockwise as well as anti-clock wise direction of rotation of shaft.
Reversal mechanism, it’s suitable for operating either in clockwise or in anti-clockwise direction of shaft rotation.
Fractional HP Motor is provided on the traverse unit to vary the pitch remotely using push buttons. It’s worthwhile where traverse unit is not accessible by operator.
