Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0951037A2] The end switch operating drive is used for mechanical operation of the switch contacts, with at least one cogwheel (5,6,15) fitted to at least one drive shaft (3,7). The latter has a polygonal cross-section throughout its length, the cogwheel provided with a central opening with the corresponding polygonal profile. The drive shaft may be provided by a length of continuously drawn or extruded profile, its polygonal cross-section having a number of relatively spaced cylindrical outer contour sections and intermediate longitudinal channel sections.
