TIME FOR A SWITCH

After20,000 cycles, when most mechanical switches are through, ELDEC solid-state switches are just beginning.

In fact, lifespans of over one million cycles are typical. But that kind of reliability is no good if the electronics can't survive the marine environment.

ELDEC non-contacting switches can stand up to the sea. • Encased in non-corroding, stainless steel. • EMI hardened to exceed MIL STD 461B, Class A4. • Operating range from -30° to +65°C. • Meets MIL STD 901C, Grade A,

Class 1 for shock.

Two wire AC and three wire DC switches for direct mechanical replacement.

The price is right.

Purchase price is competitive with the best quality mechanical switches.

And with less maintenance and replace- ments, life cycle cost savings are unsurpassed

SPINNER II®

CUTS ENGINE WEAR

IN HALF! . .

Centrifugal force:

The key to the

Spinner II centrifuge's efficiency.

Uses your engine's oil pressure to generate centrifugal force up to 3,500 times the force of gravity.

The centrifugal force does two things. First, it slings even the tiniest dirt particles (down to less than one micron!) out of the oil and onto the centrifuge bowl wall where they accumu- late and are kept from recirculating.

Second, the force is so great, it com- pacts the dirt particles into a dense cake on the bowl wall.

SPINNER II oil cleaning centrifuges have been performing for more than 20 years—all over the world—in equipment made by many major engine manu- facturers throughout the world and in the United States. The SPINNER II oil cleaner can be used in virtually any engine application as well as in the lube systems of turbines, compressors and gearboxes, in hydraulic oil applica- tions and almost anywhere that really clean oil is important.
