Appropriate for linear short-stroke action. Pin plunger acts directly on snap
Out- action mechanism, enabling high-precision positioning. Amount of movement
standing after operation is smallest among all of the actuators, however, so reliable
stopper is required.
Little force required for operation. Appropriate for use with low-speed cams and
Possible dogs; has large stroke.
Lever available in various shapes to fit operating unit.
Possible Tip of hinge lever is bent into a semi-circle, enabling use as a simple roller type.
Play in lever is used to assure maximum stroke. Construction provides for
Excellent
space where lever is attached, for outstanding resistance to freezing.
This is a hinge lever with a roller, and can be used with high-speed cams and
dogs.
Possible
The force required for pin plunger action is lighter than that of the lever, and the
stroke is longer.
