by the load. other factors impacting the
speed will include the magnitude and/or fre-
quency of the aplied voltage, the ambient
temperature, and how well an actuator is
­integrated into the end-use application.

Limit switch
Its purpose is to limit actuator motion or travel
in a particular direction. When activated, the
switch opens or closes an electrical contact.
When the contact is closed, current will flow
through the switch. These devices could be
used to prevent actuators from running into
the ends and may allow for the adjustment of
stroke length.
