    the switch can be turned back from GRD to off manually when the solenoid is still powered. Requires quite a bit force. How much depends on the power you apply. At 28 volts it needs quite some force. but the solenoid is still holding at 12 v and then it doesnt need much force.

    attatched some pictures. basically its a kind of cam that pushes a combination of micro switches.
    When the solenoid is powered it pushes a shape in a V-shaped gap in the cam, thus locking it.

    Just let me know if you need more info.

    Thanks Stef - Nice Pics !

    I was thinking along those lines - But I had it with a thinner shaft and a number of wheels with notches in - Knew there had to be micro-switches in it though !

    I guess there is probably a spring in the front or end sections ?

    Can you see how the detents are done ? Does it rely on the micro-switches falling into the notches in the shaft - Or does something else do that ?



    Cheers,

    Rob
