I work on a Litton glass blowing lathe. The motor at work has a forward stop reverse switch. This switch when moved from "forward" direction to the center (off) the switch stops you from moving it to the other direction till you release the pressure. Once you release the pressure from your hand you can move the toggle to the other selection. This provides the motor a brief time to stop rotation before changing directions.
I want to buy a switch like this for my lathe at home to use to reverse the polarity of my dc motor. I was told it was called a " forward brake reverse switch" I have found some online but they do not indicate it has this type of motion locking toggle. It interests me to make sure I get this type so I don't slam my motor in reverse before it stops motion. It is convienient that the toggle stops me from over flipping the double throw in a glass blowing moment of intensity.
What is a switch called that has this type of center lock?
I found online one that has a braking resistor...what is that? (By kbmd labeled forward brake reverse)
And another on Grainger that just looks like a dpdt prewired for polarity. (Labeled forward stop reverse)
My motor looks like a 115v dc with only a red and black wire.
The controller is a Dayton 4z527h
Also...the controller's on off switch is wired to and from the circutry board so I can imagine reversing the polarity there could be distructive so I'll have to wire the forward stop/brake reverse into the DC out wires.
Lastly...what is the difference in the naming vs functionality when it comes to "brake" and "stop" when labeling a switch?
Thank you in advance.
