Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 803-A9X rotating cam limit switch, a modification of the 803 series with Type-A cams and internal adjustment, features a double shaft extension, expanding its industrial applications and allowing for system-specific compatibility. This 9-cam device has a normally closed double break contact operating at 25 Amps, a temperature range of -30C to 60C, a maximum shaft velocity of 150 RPM, and a cam duration range of 14 to 346 degrees. Built with a heavy-duty steel base, anti-vibration mechanism, and NEMA TYPE 1 enclosure for general-purpose use, it measures 311.22 mm in length and weighs 16.3 kg; however, users should monitor for potential ice formation despite its temperature range.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
Allen Bradley 803-A9X pushbuttons commonly exhibit contact degradation, leading to intermittent or failed circuit continuity. Operators report issues with the mechanical actuation, including sticking or binding of the plunger mechanism, preventing proper switch closure. Terminal block corrosion is a frequent problem, causing high resistance connections and signal loss. Examine the integrity of the internal spring mechanism, as fatigue can result in a failure to return to the default position. Replacement of the entire unit is necessary when the housing is cracked or damaged, compromising the NEMA rating and environmental seal.
Technical specifications
The Allen-Bradley 803-A9X is a robust, 9-cam rotating limit switch with a double shaft extension for broader industrial use.

Our Repair Process for the
803-A9X
Our repair process for Allen Bradley 803-A9X pushbuttons begins with a thorough inspection of the contacts for degradation, followed by meticulous cleaning and burnishing to restore circuit continuity. The plunger mechanism is examined for sticking or binding, with lubrication and adjustment performed to ensure smooth actuation and proper switch closure. Terminal blocks are inspected for corrosion, and any affected components are cleaned or replaced to eliminate high resistance connections and signal loss. The internal spring mechanism is evaluated for fatigue, and replacement occurs if it fails to return to the default position. If the housing is cracked or damaged, compromising the NEMA rating, the entire unit is replaced.
