Italian term or phrase: Arresto di corsa

si tratta di un manuale d'uso per un ascensore, contesto:

..."Arresto di corsa (fine corsa) con sosta ai piani
Per effettuare un arresto, è necessario inserire lungo la colonna un arresto di corsa per soste ai piani. La piattaforma si ferma quando incontra l’arresto che avrà la leva montata verso destra. ...."

ho un blocco totale, sto pensando a "stop" ma poi mi vien da pensare che è banale, di sicuro non c'entra stroke (quello poco ma sicuro)....aiuto, help....mi sembra di essere entrata in un loop con questa parola, così semplice.
grazie!

English translation:limit stop

Explanation:
This is the standard translation and seems to be used for lifts/elevators too.

I remembered it from years ago before the internet was invented when I got it from my ancient and trusty Marolli Dictionary. Good to know that Google confirms its accuracy. In those days you had little choice but to take the dictionaries on pure trust.
I was tempted to put "limit switch", because when the elevator hits the stop, the stop trips a switch (limit switch) which stops the lift trying to move.
