## Symbol convention

Convention: IEC
Form: Limited two-way rotary-motion qualifier
Autodesk IEC-60617 Symbol Preview — Rotary force and motion qualifiers; vendor family reference, not certified IEC geometry or database identifier.

This qualifier identifies rotary movement in both directions over a limited travel.

## What it represents

This qualifier identifies rotary movement in both directions over a limited travel. A mechanism can move clockwise and counterclockwise between defined positions without rotating indefinitely. This distinction is useful for actuators and position-changing mechanisms.
State the end positions or stops in the mechanism documentation. The qualifier itself supplies neither angular travel nor the electrical control sequence.

## How to read it

- Record the mechanism's defined end positions separately.
- A limited-travel qualifier gives no numerical angular range.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Record the mechanism's defined end positions separately.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

## Important distinction

A limited-travel qualifier gives no numerical angular range.
