Rotary switch

Description

Sick of plugging and unplugging to swap between your Y axis and Rotary?

We’ve solved this! Our new high quality Rotary switch has:

• One input: your controller, such as the Mini Gerbil. The switch includes a 20cm cable to connect from the switch to your controller, so there’s nothing else to buy. The connector is keyed so that it only receives the cable in one orientation.
• Two outputs: your regular Y stepper motor, and your rotary stepper motor. The rotary stepper motor can be plugged in either orientation to the switch – this allows you to simply rotate the connector orientation if you wish the default rotary motor direction reversed.
• Adhesive mounts for fast and easy mounting. Photos show suggested mounting position

• Capacity of 4.5A, in other words, more than you need.

The rotary is hot-switchable – this is 100% confirmed true for the Mini Gerbil. We can’t speak for whether it works with other controllers.

Notes:

1. The switch has three positions rather than two: one end is Y axis, the centre position is OFF, the other end is the rotary. See photo!
2. The switch pivots across the short axis of the switch, not the long axis! See photo!

Size: approximately 6cm x 6cm
