Friends often ask how to position the cam divider? How to judge whether the divider is in place?

The input shaft of the cam divider has two ends, one of which is connected to the motor reducer, and the other end is fixed with an induction cam, and a proximity switch is used to determine the position, as shown in the video below:

Commonly used proximity switches are three-wire, divided into NPN type and PNP type, with normally open and normally closed distinctions. Some customers often ask how to wire proximity switches and what are the differences between NPN and PNP?

I recently saw a video on the Internet that explained in detail the differences between NPN and PNP proximity switches and the wiring methods. Today I have summarized them and shared them with you. As shown in the video below:

In the use of the cam divider, circuit control is very important. The basic principle of control is that the proximity switch sends a signal after detecting the induction cam. After the signal is transmitted to the controller (pLC or electromagnetic relay), the controller gives a power-off command to the circuit, and the divider stays in a balanced position. If the speed is fast, the motor needs to be equipped with a braking function. With the help of the brake, the divider stays in the corresponding position.
