🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat davit systems and how the winch raises/lowers the boat • What a limit switch does in machinery (general purpose) • Difference between mechanical stops (like bumpers) and electrical cut‑off devices

💭 Think About

• Think about why it might be dangerous to let the lifeboat drums keep turning once the boat is almost all the way up. • Ask yourself: does a limit switch usually act right at a hard stop, or just before a hard stop to protect the equipment and boat? • Consider whether limit switches are normally used to control the speed of movement or to stop movement at a certain point.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether limit switches are primarily for stopping motion at set travel limits, not for speed control. • Consider the purpose of davit bumpers: are they meant to be hit under power, or mostly as a last physical cushion? • Make sure the option you choose reflects an electrical cut‑off function rather than a mechanical or speed‑control function.
