Mini Stopper Switch STM

STM Series

Ultra-compact touch switch with hardened stopper surface.

At its smallest, size of φ8 and L dimension of 8 mm is available. Machine miniaturization can be achieved by embedding it in a narrow mounting space. It can also be mounted on the fingertip of a robot.

Why Choose Us

Compact stopper touch switch

Compact stopper touch switch

Direct mounting in a limited space for checking the chuck of a robot hand or checking the seating of a workpiece, among other uses, enables miniaturization of machines.
Mini-switch with hardened, or tempered, stopper surface.

Impact, water, and oil resistant and can be used for diverse applications

Impact, water, and oil resistant and can be used for diverse applications

The end face of the switch is tempered to make it durable against collisions and can be used as a stopper.
Also, a model with an IP67 protection rating is available, allowing use in environments where oil or water.
