Dog Design

Speed and Angle of Dog and Relationship with Actuator

Before designing a dog, carefully consider the operating speed and angle of the dog (

φ

) and their relationship with the shape of the actuator. The 

optimum operating speed (V) of a standard dog at an angle of 30

°

 to 45

°

 is 0.5 m/s maximum.

Roller Lever Switches

(1) Non-overtravel Dog

Note: The above y values indicate the ratio ranges based on TT (total travel). 

Therefore, the optimum pressing distance of the dog is between 50% and 
80% (or 50% and 70%).

(2) Overtravel Dog

If the speed of the overtravel dog is comparatively high, make the rear 
edge of the dog smooth at an angle of 15

°

 to 30

°

 or make it in the 

shape of a quadratic curve. Then lever shaking will be reduced.

Note: The above y values indicate the ratio ranges based on TT (total travel). 

Therefore, the optimum pressing distance of the dog is between 50% and 
80% (or 50% and 70%).

Plunger Switches

If the dog overrides the actuator, the front and rear of the dog may be 
the same in shape, provided that the dog is not designed to be 
separated from the actuator abruptly.

Fork Lever Lock Models

Note: Design the shape of the dog so that it does not come in contact with the 

other roller lever when the actuator is inverted.
