Abstract
A self contained limit switch assembly includes a gear box containing gears which mesh with a gear mounted on the shaft of a rotor. The gear box gears drive a cam. Limit switches, which are operatively connected to the motor's control circuit, are placed in the path of the cam to be actuated thereby. The limit switch assembly includes a housing which may be applied to an end shield of the motor, allowing the limit switch assembly to be applied optionally to any motor which may be incorporated into a product which requires use of a limit switch in the product's operation.
