AMETEK/Gemco has more experience, knowledge, and expertise with these types of applications than anyone in the industry.

Previous nonmetallic cams have been designed and approved by the USACE, and we have supplied them accordingly. We are now taking our proven design and providing a metal cam per the USACE specifications. These units are designed to function according to specifications and to last for years, the switches alone are designed to survive fifteen million cycles.
