tappet switch (off switch)


Explanation:
This sounds like a tappet switch used to switch the machine off.

Of course, On/Off tappet switch would cover it too, since the same switch is almost invariably used to switch a machine on and off.

Example sentence(s):
  • The investigating inspector observed in the lift motor room an electrical switch, known as a tappet switch
  • The studio flash and the powerpack can be switched on and off through the On/Off tappet switch.

agree  Michael Harris: I think the on / off is not really relevant or bracket them out as in Daivds suggestion

Reference

Reference information:
I found the following by working in the opposite direction. The term "deactivation lifter" as used in a US patent has been translated as "Abschaltstößel" in the German equivalent.

Then the auxiliary relief valve opens and discharges any excess oil flow into the engine oil crankcase so as to maintain the maximum oil system pressure below the pressure at which the deactivation hydraulic lifters would be required to be disabled.

Dann öffnet das Hilfsüberdruckventil und lässt jeden überschüssigen Ölfluss in das Motorölkurbelgehäuse ab, so dass der maximale Ölsystemdruck unterhalb des Drucks gehalten wird, bei dem die hydraulischen Abschaltstößel gesperrt werden müssten.
