Intermatic FD60MC Spring-Wound Timer
The Intermatic FD60MC is a spring-wound mechanical timer designed for controlling electrical circuits in machinery and machine shop environments. It operates on 120 or 277 volts AC and features a single-gang configuration with an ivory finish. This device suits installers needing a simple, non-digital timing solution for motor loads.
Replaces digital timers needing power
Unlike electronic timers that require continuous power to maintain settings, this spring-wound mechanism stores energy mechanically. The jump is worth it when wiring a new power supply for a timer is impractical or when a purely mechanical fail-safe is preferred for motor control. It handles up to 1 hp at 120V and 2 hp at 240V.
Consistent cycle under sustained load
The spring-driven mechanism delivers a repeatable 60-minute cycle without drift from line frequency or temperature variation. Under continuous motor operation, the mechanical contacts maintain their rated horsepower capacity without the thermal derating that can affect solid-state relays. The stored spring energy ensures the full timing range completes even during brief voltage sags.
