V/VX/D3V Common Accessories Ordering Information Actuators (Sold Separately) Actuators are supplementary components used when operating pin plunger switches using cams or dogs or when transmitting mechanical movements that are not in alignment with the switch plunger. Three series of actuators are optionally available: VAL, VAM and VAV series. 1. The VAL series are designated for operation by rotary cam or sliding devices. 2. The VAM series actuators designed are operate in reverse movement and are highly resistive to vibration and shock. The large OT of these models make them ideal for machine tools and automatic doors where the switches are subject to heavy vibration or shock. 3. The VAV series actuators are highly sensitive to force. Therefore, they should be used in applications where the operating force to be applied to the switch is very low.
