Operating Stroke

The operating stroke is the movement of the actuator caused by the operating body that is required for the switch to operate correctly.

  1. The actuator must normally be in the free position(FP).(The operating body is separated from the actuator.)
  2. The mortion of the operating body must not stop at the operating position (OP) and the reversing position(RP).
  3. When the operation reverse position(suitable pushing of the actuator) is set, the motion of the operating body must be adjustable based on the specified operating travel(OT) value.
  4. When the switch is placed in a device, the suitable pushing point of the operating body has to be 60% to 90% in the operating position(OP) to the total travel position (TTP).

Set the switch pushing distance from 60% to 90% of the specified OT value.
