I'm trying to figure out what a particular type of switch is called, and where to find it. It's a long thin strip, 1-2 cm wide, maybe 5 mm thick, and often a meter or two long. It's typically mounted on the perimeter of heavy machinery as a safety cutoff switch. If someone bumps into it, the machine power is cut.
Mechanically, it's something like a venetian blind: a long curved piece of metal which deforms to contact a flat piece of metal.
Does anyone know what this is?
