Limit Switches with a Plunger Actuator
Limit switches with a plunger-style actuator use the physical movement of a plunger to control the open/closed state of an electrical switch. These actuators detect minuscule machine motion well and offer a smaller form factor than most rotary lever-type actuators. Care must be taken with the tooling to prevent damage to the plunger.
