it can be momentary or maintain. i added a pic of drum sw contactsDo you have present wiring diagram of the system?
By momentary drum switch, do you mean it is not maintained during the motor operation?
Max.
no, presently operator has to hold switch lever while usingDo you have present wiring diagram of the system?

There is no picture attached to your post?it can be momentary or maintain. i added a pic of drum sw contacts
So, by adding limit switches, are you trying to change operation to momentary? Press a button, and the motor travels to one end. Press another, and the motor travels to the other end?no, presently operator has to hold switch lever while using
i attached a pic of how its wired to switch.it can be momentary or maintain. i added a pic of drum sw contacts

Re OP, Single phase motor?One thing omitted in your description is if the motor runs on AC or DC?

One thing omitted in your description is if the motor runs on AC or DC? Implied by this question is how is the motor reversed electrically currently? (no pun intended)
Everyone, is it me? I don’t see any attachments on this thread.i attached a pic of how its wired to switch.
oops, missed that. Thanks!Re OP, Single phase motor?

yesRe OP, Single phase motor?

just wanted to be able to push lever and walk away, then come back and push lever to go opposite direction. limits would only be used to stop motor at each end travel.Everyone, is it me? I don’t see any attachments on this thread.

What is the HP of the motor?"(push lever to go opposite direction)".
the motor is 1/3 hp, the drum sw will stay maintain, it could not reverse without manually turning drum handle back to reverse. I know ways to do this, but trying to do this w/controls they have is the tough part.Then you will need a retaining circuit components of some kind, as I suggested, a reversing contactor would be one solution.
You should also have interlock so immediate reversal cannot take place.

Look for the button below the text area when you reply/post that says “Attach files”. Click it and follow the prompts. Ask if you have any problems.I don't see any pictures either. Make sure you attach them instead of just "pasting" them into the thread.
im having a heck of a time getting pics to download.I'm assuming that T5,T8 T1-T3 go to the motor?
Probabally a PSC motor?
If it is, you do not need a drum sw to operate.

I have a single phase 115/230v motor controlled by a momentary drum switch, to operate in forward and reverse. Im trying to change drum switch to maintain and use limits to stop at end of travel each direction.

it wont let me attach fileLook for the button below the text area when you reply/post that says “Attach files”. Click it and follow the prompts. Ask if you have any problems.
Ok, but it would be useful if you could share any information to support that statement? Any error messages? What is the file extension of the files you are trying to attach? What browser are you using? In what platform (Windows, Linux, IOS, etc...)?it wont let me attach file

i was able to attach one file, I tried (4) files. I am using windows. It allows me to open files, uploads everything, then runs a horizontal line through the file name and dims with cancel next to it.Ok, but it would be useful if you could share any information to support that statement?

Apparently, you CAN upload files. You successfully upload an image in post #15.
