Contacts Configuration
Limit switch types
Snap-action contact: A contact element in Slow-make/slow-break contacts: A contact
which the contact motion is independent of element in which the contact motion is
the speed of the actuator. This feature dependent on the actuator speed.
ensures reliable electrical performance
even in applications involving very slow
moving actuators.
