Control and signalling device and adapter for a control and signalling device

A control and signaling device comprising

• a cylindrical main body with two open ends,
• an operating element which is designed for insertion into one of the open ends of the main body and has a switching part that is movable relative to the main body, and
• a multipartite insert element which is designed for insertion into the main body for bridging at least one portion of a switching path from the switching part to a contact element arranged at the other of the open ends and has an elastic element which elastically supports a portion , provided for operating the contact element, of the insert element in such a way that a pressure force of the portion on the contact element is limited to a prespecified force range,
• wherein the switching part is axially movable relative to the main body, and wherein the insert element has a pin-shaped central part, which forms the portion provided for operating the contact element, and a bracket which is arranged coaxially with the central part and into which the elastic element can be inserted so that it is arranged coaxially with the central part and can exert a force on the central part, wherein the bracket is fixed in the switching part, and the central part is mounted in the bracket in an axially movable manner and is pressed against a stop in the direction of the contact element by the elastic element arranged coaxially between the bracket and the central part.
