Is this a limit switch design? What switches needed for this project?
Something like this timer (picked at random) would do the job. It's a pulse timer and, when triggered, engergises for a preset delay and then de-energises even if the trigger is still on.

How it works


The transformer is wired through a normally closed contact of TIMER1. The motor will run.
When SW1 closes the timer will energise for a preset time. The normally closed contact will open, disconnecting the motor.
After the preset time the timer will drop out, the motor will restart, and after a short delay SW1 will open again.
SW2 and TIMER2 perform the same function for the second position.
If the same stop delay is required in both instances then only one timer is required and SW2 can be wired in parallel with SW1.


Timer should be rated for 230 V AC power and contacts rated at least for the transformer current.

And no, it's not a "limit switch design" as there are no physical limits to the degree of rotation. "Cam switch design" might be more appropriate.
