1. How to adjust the stroke length of an actuator so that it stops at a certain point

so it can not collide with the frame?

Stroke Lenght considerations and Limit Switches

n almost all applications! TiMotion"s stroke lenght is controlled #y using limit switches$a%k%a micro switches&%

The drive nut will tra#le down the lead screw% As the drive nut presses the limit swithc

#utton! it will cut the electrical circuit and cause the actuator to stop%Stroke lenght can #e controlled #y software as well! #ut in most applications it is simplycontrolled #y the limit switches%
