No Auto Switch Projection
Prevents damage to auto switch.
Stops sleeves from getting caught in the auto switch and its mounting rail, improving workability and safety.
Reduced labor for design.
The outer dimensions of the cylinder do not change, even when an auto switch has been mounted, so there is no need to check for interference with equipment.
