Mechanical Time Switch Fabrication

• Since 1971, IFG Instruments, Inc. has been an import distributor mechanical and electromechanical time switch products including timers, gears, hairsprings, pinions and gears, and precision screws. We also specialize in stampings with the capacity for deep drawn parts and Bourdon tubes. Many of our suppliers are ISO 9000 certified.

  We offer several different configurations of time switches, including the Mi2 and Mi7, that are panel mounted, plug-in time switches rated up to 250V and the Mi14, an electrically wired, permanent in-wall time switch. Depending on the model, these time switches can time up to 14 hours, and are available with either one to two or one to four poles. Special spindle sizes and wind up angles are available with these standard models, and all are UL and CSA approved.

• Mi12	A compact timing mechanism driven by a synchronous motor. This motor through a gear train silently rotates a camshaft that opens, closes, or change-over up to 6 contacts after a set time from 15 minutes to 24 hours. Manual switch-on position is optional. The high mechanical characteristics materials used for the housing meet all the possible requirements for self-extinguishing and tracking resistant properties. Applications: Heating Air-conditioning Baking and drying ovens Saunas Tanning Products Ventilators Washing machines Clothes dryers
