Dog Design
Speed and Angle of Dog and Relationship with Actuator
Before designing a dog, carefully consider the operating speed and angle of the dog (φ) and their relationship with the shape of the actuator. The
optimum operating speed (V) of a standard dog at an angle of 30° to 45° is 0.5 m/s maximum.

Note: The above y values indicate the ratio ranges based on TT (total travel).
Therefore, the optimum pressing distance of the dog is between 50% and
80% (or 50% and 70%).

If the speed of the overtravel dog is comparatively high, make the rear
edge of the dog smooth at an angle of 15° to 30° or make it in the
shape of a quadratic curve. Then lever shaking will be reduced.

Plunger Switches
If the dog overrides the actuator, the front and rear of the dog may be
the same in shape, provided that the dog is not designed to be
separated from the actuator abruptly.

Note: Design the shape of the dog so that it does not come in contact with the
other roller lever when the actuator is inverted.
