A piston can be located at least partially within the shuttle and arranged along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The piston includes protrusions and each of the protrusions can be arranged to travel within a respective one of the grooves of the shuttle. Motion of the piston in a first direction causes the piston to contact the first end of the shuttle and motion of the piston in a second direction causes the piston to contact the second end of the shuttle.
