Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch arrangement for devices for handling notes of value, for example for automated teller machines, for automatic cash registers or for cash register systems.
- the notes of value can in particular be banknotes or checks.
- the switch arrangement comprises a shaft which is non-rotatably connected to a switch body, the switch body being rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the shaft between a first switch body position and a second switch body position.
- the shaft can be rotated around its longitudinal axis with the help of a switch lever.
- the switch lever is in engagement with an armature of a lifting magnet, the lifting magnet being controllable in such a way that the armature can be moved between a first armature position and a second armature position, so that the movement of the armature causes the switching lever to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
- Switch arrangements are known from the prior art, in which the positioning of the switch body takes place with the aid of lifting magnets.
- a voltage is applied to a coil arranged in a lifting magnet housing of the lifting magnet, a current flows through the coil, as a result of which a magnetic field is generated.
- the armature is drawn into the lifting magnet housing by the magnetic field and is thereby moved in a translatory manner.
- This translational movement of the armature ends at an inner stop in the lifting magnet housing. Of the inner stop defines a second armature position which the armature reaches when it is drawn into the solenoid housing and rests against the inner stop. In the second armature position, the armature is held securely by the magnetic field generated by the coil.
- the armature is released from the second armature position and is moved into a dropped first armature position, for example with the aid of a spring or by gravity.
- the state of the art includes the DE 38 75 725 T2 which discloses the preamble of the main claim.
- the translational movement of the armature is converted into a rotational movement of the shaft via the switch lever.
- this predetermined rotational movement is often not implemented completely, since, among other things, the engagement of the switch lever with the armature typically has play. Due to the play and due to manufacturing tolerances of the components, the second switch body position of the switch body firmly connected to the shaft, in which the switch body is moved by a predetermined angle from the first switch body position, is not always reliably reached. The greater the deviation between the realized and the predetermined second switch body position, the more the switch body is impaired in its guiding function, which can lead to malfunctions of the device, in particular to a paper jam of the notes of value to be processed.
- a position correction is made to the switch arrangement becomes.
- the switch arrangement is linearly displaced, taking into account the tolerances, until the positional deviation from the second switch body position is eliminated.
- the stroke of the switch body can be limited by a mechanical stop in the guide element, with the switch body being able to reach the stop before the magnet armature reaches the stop in the lifting magnet housing. The greater the distance between the armature and the stop in the lifting magnet housing, the lower the holding force with which the magnetic field generated by the coil holds the armature in the magnet housing. As a result, undesired, indeterminate functional states can occur.
- the switch arrangement according to claim 1 ensures that an elastically deformable element of the switch arrangement is deformed at least when the switch body has reached the second switch body position and the anchor has not yet reached the second anchor position.
- the angle by which the shaft without the Providing the elastically deformable element, ie with a backlash-free coupling of the armature of the lifting magnet to the shaft must be rotated after the switch body has reached the second switch body position and until the anchor reaches the second anchor position, is also referred to as the compensation angle.
- this compensation angle can have a value in the range from 0.1° to 3°, preferably in the range from 0.2° to 2°, in particular in the range from 0.2° to 1°, for example from 0.3° to 1°.
- the compensating angle can also have a value in the range from 0.01° to 1°, in particular in the range from 0.05° to 0.5°. In another embodiment of the invention, this angle has a value in the range between 3° and 10°, in particular between 5.5° and 7.5°, for example 6.5°. In an alternative embodiment, this angle has a value in the range between 5° and 15°, in particular between 10° and 13°, for example 11.5°.
- the elastically deformable element is deformed from the point in time at which the switch body has reached the second switch body position and a further movement of the anchor up to the second anchor position still takes place. This ensures that the armature safely reaches the second armature position after the predetermined rotational movement of the shaft has already been fully implemented.
- the armature reaches a mechanical stop provided in the lifting magnet in the second armature position. This ensures that the the armature is held securely by the magnetic field generated by the coil.
- the force with which the magnet is held in the second position is 3N to 10N, in particular 6N to 7N. In further embodiments, this holding force can correspond to twice to three times the amount of these specified range limit values.
- the switch lever can be rotated on the shaft by a predetermined angular range and if the elastically deformable element is a torsion spring, with one end of the torsion spring being connected to the shaft and the other end of the torsion spring being connected to the switch lever.
- the predetermined functional state in which the switch body is in the second switch body position and the anchor is in the second anchor position, is reliably achieved.
- the elastically deformable element is a leaf spring.
- the elastically deformable element is a torsion bushing, which comprises two sleeves that are connected to one another by an elastomer element and can be rotated in opposite directions, with the first sleeve being connected to the switch lever and the second sleeve being connected to the shaft, and the switch lever being rotated at least by an angular range or is freely rotatable. This achieves a robust flexible connection between the switch lever and the shaft.
- the shaft is connected to the switch lever in a recess in the switch lever via an elastomer.
- the elastomer can be produced in particular by a 2-component injection molding process. As a result, only a small amount of space is required for the elastic connection of the switch lever to the shaft.
- the elastically deformable element is a torsion disk arrangement which comprises two disks which are connected to one another by an elastomer element and can be rotated in opposite directions, the first disk being connected to the switch lever and the second disk being connected to the shaft.

- the switch lever can be connected to the first shaft part in a rotationally fixed manner. This ensures that the predetermined functional state in which the armature is in the second anchor position and the Switch body is in the second switch body position, can also be achieved in embodiments of the invention in which the switch lever and the shaft are positively connected.
- the lifting magnet comprises a lifting magnet housing and the switch lever engages in a groove, preferably in an annular groove, of the armature, the elastically deformable element being arranged between the switch lever of the flanges of the groove facing away from the stop.

- the elastically deformable element presses the switch body against a first stop with a pretension.
- the preload can correspond to a force between 1N and 5N, in particular between 2.5N and 3N. This ensures that the switch body reliably reaches the first switch body position and is held securely in this first switch body position.
- the elastically deformable element is arranged and designed in such a way that, after overcoming the pretension, a force in the range between 0.05N and 0.15N per 1 cm stroke of the armature is required.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Weichenanordnung für Vorrichtungen zur Handhabung von Wertscheinen, beispielsweise für Geldautomaten, für automatische Tresorkassen oder für Kassensysteme. Es kann sich bei den Wertscheinen insbesondere um Banknoten oder Schecks handeln. Die Weichenanordnung umfasst eine Welle, die drehfest mit einem Weichenkörper verbunden ist, wobei der Weichenkörper um die Längsachse der Welle zwischen einer ersten Weichenkörperposition und einer zweiten Weichenkörperposition drehbar ist. Die Welle ist mit Hilfe eines Weichenhebels um ihre Längsachse drehbar. Der Weichenhebel steht mit einem Anker eines Hubmagneten im Eingriff, wobei der Hubmagnet derart ansteuerbar ist, dass der Anker zwischen einer ersten Ankerposition und einer zweiten Ankerposition bewegbar ist, sodass durch die Bewegung des Ankers der Weichenhebel um die Längsachse der Welle rotiert.The invention relates to a switch arrangement for devices for handling notes of value, for example for automated teller machines, for automatic cash registers or for cash register systems. The notes of value can in particular be banknotes or checks. The switch arrangement comprises a shaft which is non-rotatably connected to a switch body, the switch body being rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the shaft between a first switch body position and a second switch body position. The shaft can be rotated around its longitudinal axis with the help of a switch lever. The switch lever is in engagement with an armature of a lifting magnet, the lifting magnet being controllable in such a way that the armature can be moved between a first armature position and a second armature position, so that the movement of the armature causes the switching lever to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Weichenanordnungen bekannt, bei denen die Positionierung der Weichenkörper mit Hilfe von Hubmagneten erfolgt. Beim Anlegen einer Spannung an eine in einem Hubmagnetgehäuse des Hubmagneten angeordneten Spule erfolgt ein Stromfluss durch die Spule, wodurch ein Magnetfeld erzeugt wird. Durch das Magnetfeld wird der Anker in das Hubmagnetgehäuse hineingezogen und dabei translatorisch bewegt. Diese translatorische Bewegung des Ankers endet an einem inneren Anschlag im Hubmagnetgehäuse. Der innere Anschlag definiert eine zweite Ankerposition, die der Anker erreicht, wenn er in das Hubmagnetgehäuse hineingezogen ist und am inneren Anschlag anliegt. In der zweiten Ankerposition wird der Anker durch das durch die Spule erzeugte Magnetfeld sicher gehalten. Wird der Stromfluss durch die Spule unterbrochen, löst sich der Anker aus der zweiten Ankerposition und wird beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Feder oder durch die Schwerkraft in eine abgefallene erste Ankerposition bewegt. Zum Stand der Technik gehört die
Die translatorische Bewegung des Ankers wird über den Weichenhebel in eine Rotationsbewegung der Welle umgesetzt. In den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen findet allerdings häufig keine vollständige Umsetzung dieser vorbestimmten Rotationsbewegung statt, da unter anderem der Eingriff des Weichenhebels mit dem Anker typischerweise ein Spiel aufweist. Aufgrund des Spiels und aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen der Bauteile wird die zweite Weichenkörperposition des mit der Welle fest verbundenen Weichenkörpers nicht immer sicher erreicht, in der der Weichenkörper um einen vorbestimmten Winkel aus der ersten Weichenkörperposition bewegt ist. Je größer die Abweichung der realisierten zur vorbestimmten zweiten Weichenkörperposition ist, desto stärker wird der Weichenkörper in seiner Leitfunktion beeinträchtigt, was zu Funktionsstörungen der Vorrichtung, insbesondere zu einem Papierstau der zu verarbeitenden Wertscheine führen kann.The translational movement of the armature is converted into a rotational movement of the shaft via the switch lever. In the solutions known from the prior art, however, this predetermined rotational movement is often not implemented completely, since, among other things, the engagement of the switch lever with the armature typically has play. Due to the play and due to manufacturing tolerances of the components, the second switch body position of the switch body firmly connected to the shaft, in which the switch body is moved by a predetermined angle from the first switch body position, is not always reliably reached. The greater the deviation between the realized and the predetermined second switch body position, the more the switch body is impaired in its guiding function, which can lead to malfunctions of the device, in particular to a paper jam of the notes of value to be processed.
Zum Beheben des Problems sind Lösungen denkbar, in denen eine Lagekorrektur an der Weichenanordnung vorgenommen wird. Dabei wird die Weichenanordnung unter Berücksichtigung der Toleranzen so weit linear verschoben, bis die Positionsabweichung von der zweiten Weichenkörperposition beseitigt ist. Der Hubweg des Weichenkörpers kann dabei durch einen mechanischen Anschlag im Leitelement begrenzt werden, wobei der Weichenkörper den Anschlag erreichen kann, bevor der Magnetanker den Anschlag im Hubmagnetgehäuse erreicht. Je größer dabei der Abstand zwischen dem Anker und dem Anschlag im Hubmagnetgehäuse ist, desto geringer ist die Haltekraft, mit der das durch die Spule erzeugte Magnetfeld den Anker im Magnetgehäuse hält. Dadurch können ungewünschte unbestimmte Funktionszustände auftreten.To solve the problem, solutions are conceivable in which a position correction is made to the switch arrangement becomes. The switch arrangement is linearly displaced, taking into account the tolerances, until the positional deviation from the second switch body position is eliminated. The stroke of the switch body can be limited by a mechanical stop in the guide element, with the switch body being able to reach the stop before the magnet armature reaches the stop in the lifting magnet housing. The greater the distance between the armature and the stop in the lifting magnet housing, the lower the holding force with which the magnetic field generated by the coil holds the armature in the magnet housing. As a result, undesired, indeterminate functional states can occur.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Weichenanordnung anzugeben, bei der sichergestellt ist, dass der Anker eines zum Antrieb eingesetzten Hubmagneten den mechanischen Anschlag im Hubmagnetgehäuse und der Weichenkörper die zweite Weichenkörperposition sicher erreichen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Weichenanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.It is the object of the invention to specify a switch arrangement in which it is ensured that the armature of a lifting magnet used for the drive reliably reaches the mechanical stop in the lifting magnet housing and the switch body reaches the second switch body position. This object is achieved by a switch arrangement having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims.
Durch die Weichenanordnung nach Anspruch 1 wird erreicht, dass eine Verformung eines elastisch verformbaren Elements der Weichenanordnung zumindest dann erfolgt, wenn der Weichenkörper die zweite Weichenkörperposition erreicht hat und der Anker die zweite Ankerposition noch nicht erreicht hat.Der Winkel, um den die Welle ohne das Vorsehen des elastisch verformbaren Elements, d.h. bei einer spielfreien Kopplung des Ankers des Hubmagneten mit der Welle weiter gedreht werden muss,nachdem der Weichenkörper die zweite Weichenkörperposition erreicht hat und bis der Anker die zweite Ankerposition erreicht, wird auch als Ausgleichswinkel bezeichnet.Dieser Ausgleichswinkel kann bei bevorzugten Ausführungsformen einen Wert im Bereich von 0,1° bis 3°, vorzugsweise im Bereich von 0,2° bis 2°, insbesondere im Bereich von 0,2° bis 1°, besipielsweise von 0,3° bis 1°, haben. Der Ausgleichswinkel kann bei anderen Ausführungsformen auch einen Wert im Bereich von 0,01° bis 1°, insbesondere im Bereich von 0,05° bis 0,5° haben. Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung hat dieser Winkel einen Wert im Bereich zwischen 3° und 10°, insbesondere zwischen 5,5° und 7,5°, beispielsweise 6,5°. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform hat dieser Winkel einen Wert im Bereich zwischen 5° und 15°, insbesondere zwischen 10° und 13°, beispielsweise 11,5°.The switch arrangement according to claim 1 ensures that an elastically deformable element of the switch arrangement is deformed at least when the switch body has reached the second switch body position and the anchor has not yet reached the second anchor position. The angle by which the shaft without the Providing the elastically deformable element, ie with a backlash-free coupling of the armature of the lifting magnet to the shaft must be rotated after the switch body has reached the second switch body position and until the anchor reaches the second anchor position, is also referred to as the compensation angle. In preferred embodiments, this compensation angle can have a value in the range from 0.1° to 3°, preferably in the range from 0.2° to 2°, in particular in the range from 0.2° to 1°, for example from 0.3° to 1°. In other embodiments, the compensating angle can also have a value in the range from 0.01° to 1°, in particular in the range from 0.05° to 0.5°. In another embodiment of the invention, this angle has a value in the range between 3° and 10°, in particular between 5.5° and 7.5°, for example 6.5°. In an alternative embodiment, this angle has a value in the range between 5° and 15°, in particular between 10° and 13°, for example 11.5°.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Verformung des elastisch verformbaren Elements ab dem Zeitpunkt erfolgt, in dem der Weichenkörper die zweite Weichenkörperposition erreicht hat und eine weitere Bewegung des Ankers bis in die zweite Ankerposition noch erfolgt. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass der Anker die zweite Ankerposition sicher erreicht, nachdem die vorbestimmte Rotationsbewegung der Welle bereits vollständig umgesetzt ist.It is particularly advantageous if the elastically deformable element is deformed from the point in time at which the switch body has reached the second switch body position and a further movement of the anchor up to the second anchor position still takes place. This ensures that the armature safely reaches the second armature position after the predetermined rotational movement of the shaft has already been fully implemented.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Anker in der zweiten Ankerposition einen im Hubmagneten vorgesehenen mechanischen Anschlag erreicht. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der der Anker durch das durch die Spule erzeugte Magnetfeld sicher gehalten wird. In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung beträgt die Kraft, mit der der Magnet in der zweiten Position gehalten wird, 3N bis 10N, insbesondere 6N bis 7N. In weiteren Ausführungsformen kann diese Haltekraft, dem 2fachen bis 3fachen Betrag dieser angegebenen Bereichsgrenzwerte entsprechen.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the armature reaches a mechanical stop provided in the lifting magnet in the second armature position. This ensures that the the armature is held securely by the magnetic field generated by the coil. In one embodiment of the invention, the force with which the magnet is held in the second position is 3N to 10N, in particular 6N to 7N. In further embodiments, this holding force can correspond to twice to three times the amount of these specified range limit values.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Weichenhebel auf der Welle um einen vorbestimmten Winkelbereich drehbar ist und wenn das elastisch verformbare Element eine Drehfeder ist, wobei ein Ende der Drehfeder mit der Welle verbunden ist und das andere Ende der Drehfeder mit dem Weichenhebel verbunden ist. Dadurch wird der vorbestimmte Funktionszustand, in welchem sich der Weichenkörper in der zweiten Weichenkörperposition befindet und sich der Anker in der zweiten Ankerposition befindet, sicher erreicht. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das elastisch verformbare Element eine Blattfeder.It is particularly advantageous if the switch lever can be rotated on the shaft by a predetermined angular range and if the elastically deformable element is a torsion spring, with one end of the torsion spring being connected to the shaft and the other end of the torsion spring being connected to the switch lever. As a result, the predetermined functional state, in which the switch body is in the second switch body position and the anchor is in the second anchor position, is reliably achieved. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the elastically deformable element is a leaf spring.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das elastisch verformbare Element eine Torsionsbuchse, die zwei durch ein Elastomerelement miteinander verbundene und gegeneinander verdrehbare Hülsen umfasst, wobei die erste Hülse mit dem Weichenhebel und die zweite Hülse mit der Welle verbunden ist und wobei der Weichenhebel zumindest um einen Winkelbereich oder frei drehbar ist.

This achieves a robust flexible connection between the switch lever and the shaft.
Bei einer alternativen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform wird die Welle in einer Aussparung des Weichenhebels über ein Elastomer mit dem Weichenhebel verbunden. Das Elastomer kann insbesondere durch ein 2-Komponenten Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden.

The elastomer can be produced in particular by a 2-component injection molding process. As a result, only a small amount of space is required for the elastic connection of the switch lever to the shaft.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das elastisch verformbare Element eine Torsionsscheibenanordnung, die zwei durch ein Elastomerelement miteinander verbundene und gegeneinander verdrehbare Scheiben umfasst, wobei die erste Scheibe mit dem Weichenhebel und die zweite Scheibe mit der Welle verbunden ist. Dadurch wird eine robuste nachgebende Verbindung zwischen der Welle und dem Hebel erreicht, die einfach aufgebaut ist und einen geringen Bauraum beansprucht.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the elastically deformable element is a torsion disk arrangement which comprises two disks which are connected to one another by an elastomer element and can be rotated in opposite directions, the first disk being connected to the switch lever and the second disk being connected to the shaft. This achieves a robust yielding connection between the shaft and the lever, which has a simple structure and requires little installation space.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst die Welle ein erstes Wellenteil und ein zweites Wellenteil, wobei das erste Wellenteil und das zweite Wellenteil mit Hilfe des elastisch verformbaren Elements, vorzugsweise mit Hilfe einer Feder oder mit Hilfe eins Elastomerelements, miteinander verbunden und gegeneinander verdrehbar sind. Hierbei kann der Weichenhebel drehfest mit dem ersten Wellenteil verbunden sein. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der vorbestimmte Funktionszustand, in welchem sich der Anker in der zweiten Ankerposition und sich der Weichenkörper in der zweiten Weichenkörperposition befindet, auch in Ausführungsformen der Erfindung erreicht werden kann, in denen der Weichenhebel und die Welle formschlüssig verbunden sind.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the shaft comprises a first shaft part and a second shaft part, the first shaft part and the second shaft part being connected to one another and rotatable in opposite directions with the aid of the elastically deformable element, preferably with the aid of a spring or with the aid of an elastomer element . In this case, the switch lever can be connected to the first shaft part in a rotationally fixed manner. This ensures that the predetermined functional state in which the armature is in the second anchor position and the Switch body is in the second switch body position, can also be achieved in embodiments of the invention in which the switch lever and the shaft are positively connected.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst der Hubmagnet ein Hubmagnetgehäuse und der Weichenhebel greift in eine Nut, vorzugsweise in eine Ringnut, des Ankers ein, wobei das elastisch verformbare Element zwischen Weichenhebel der vom Anschlag abgewandten Flansche der Nut angeordnet ist.

Das elastisch verformbare Element ist vorzugsweise eine Wellenscheibe, eine Tellerfeder, eine Elastomerscheibe oder ein O-Ring. Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst der Anker einen ersten und einen zweiten Abschnitt, der Weichenhebel steht mit dem ersten Abschnitt im Eingriff und der erste Abschnitt und der zweite Abschnitt sind über das elastisch verformbare Element verbunden. Durch diese Ausführungsformen wird erreicht, dass bereits bestehende Weichenkonstruktionen, in denen der Weichenhebel und die Welle fest bzw. formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind, einfach und kostengünstig nachgerüstet werden können. Auch bei dieser Lösung wird nur ein geringer Bauraum beansprucht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lifting magnet comprises a lifting magnet housing and the switch lever engages in a groove, preferably in an annular groove, of the armature, the elastically deformable element being arranged between the switch lever of the flanges of the groove facing away from the stop. It is particularly advantageous if a spacer disc, in particular a washer, is arranged between the diverter lever and the elastically deformable element. The elastically deformable element is preferably a wave washer, a disc spring, an elastomer washer or an O-ring. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the anchor comprises a first and a second section, the switch lever is in engagement with the first section and the first section and the second section are connected via the elastically deformable element. What is achieved by these embodiments is that already existing switch constructions, in which the switch lever and the shaft are connected to one another in a fixed or form-fitting manner, can be retrofitted easily and inexpensively. With this solution, too, only a small amount of space is required.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst der Weichenkörper ein elastisch verformbares Leitelement, das das elastisch verformbare Element der Weichenanordnung umfasst und/oder bildet. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Leitelement mindestens einen elastisch verformbaren Weichenfinger umfasst. Dadurch wird kein Bauraum im Umfeld des Weichenhebels beansprucht.In a further advantageous embodiment, the switch body comprises an elastically deformable guide element, which is the elastically deformable element of the switch arrangement comprises and/or constitutes. It is particularly advantageous if the guide element comprises at least one elastically deformable diverter finger. As a result, no space is required in the vicinity of the switch lever.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das elastisch verformbare Element den Weichenkörper gegen einen ersten Anschlag mit einer Vorspannung drückt. Die Vorspannung kann einer Kraft zwischen 1N und 5N, insbesondere zwischen 2,5N und 3N, entsprechen. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Weichenkörper die erste Weichenkörperposition sicher erreicht und in dieser ersten Weichenkörperposition sicher gehalten wird.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the elastically deformable element presses the switch body against a first stop with a pretension. The preload can correspond to a force between 1N and 5N, in particular between 2.5N and 3N. This ensures that the switch body reliably reaches the first switch body position and is held securely in this first switch body position.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das elastisch verformbare Element so angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass nach dem Überwinden der Vorspannung eine Kraft im Bereich zwischen 0,05N und 0,15N pro 1cm Hub des Ankers notwendig ist.It is particularly advantageous if the elastically deformable element is arranged and designed in such a way that, after overcoming the pretension, a force in the range between 0.05N and 0.15N per 1 cm stroke of the armature is required.
