The ones I have seen use a DPDT switch, which can be either momentary
or constant.  I would select constant with a pair of limit switches to
protect the
motor and linkages by shutting off the drive in the appropriate
direction when
the linkage hits the stops.

The screw Van's sells has a screw with no thread at each end. The motor just
turns and turns if it reaches the limit.  Some do, some do not.
