Actuators are supplementary components used when operating
the Switch using cams or dogs or when transmitting mechanical
movements that are not in alignment with the switch plunger.
The VAL models are suitable for cases where a Switch is
operated by a rotary cam or sliding devices with relatively low
operation frequency.
The VAM models are designed to operate in reverse movements
and have high shock and vibration resistance. Since the
Overtravel (OT) of these models is rather large, they can be used
for automatic control or door switches of machining tools.
The VAV models can be used where a small Operating Force
(OF) is required.
These Actuators do not include Switches.
