Why Choose the Lovato KBH1L02 Limit Switch?

The Lovato KBH1L02 is an industrial K series limit switch with a ceramic rod lever, designed for position detection and motion monitoring in machinery and automated equipment. Its dimensions conform to EN 50047, supporting straightforward integration into standard industrial installations.

This limit switch features 2NC slow-action contacts, providing two normally closed contacts for machine-control, monitoring and interlocking circuits. Its ceramic rod presents an extended actuation surface for detecting moving products or machine components whose travel may not align with a conventional plunger.

The KBH1L02 uses a double-insulated thermoplastic housing with IP65 body protection and a bottom M20 cable entry. Its slow-action mechanism, self-releasing screw terminals and locking bayonet operating head make it suitable for dependable mechanical position detection in demanding industrial applications.

Key Advantages

  • Industrial limit switch with ceramic rod lever.
  • 2NC slow-action contacts support control and monitoring circuits.
  • Extended ceramic rod provides a broad mechanical actuation surface.
  • IP65 thermoplastic housing provides protection against dust and water jets.
  • EN 50047 dimensions simplify installation and replacement.
  • Bottom M20 cable entry supports convenient machine wiring.

Key Features

  • Lovato K series industrial limit switch.
  • Ceramic rod-lever actuator.
  • 2 normally closed contacts.
  • Slow-action contact operation.
  • Direct opening action of the normally closed contacts.
  • Double-insulated polymer thermoplastic housing.
  • Locking bayonet operating-head insert.
  • Self-releasing screw terminals.
  • M20 bottom cable entry.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Limit switches convert the physical movement of a machine component or product into an electrical contact signal. The ceramic rod on the Lovato KBH1L02 provides an extended actuation surface for detecting objects whose movement may not align with a compact plunger or roller actuator.

The slow-action mechanism opens both normally closed contacts according to the travel of the ceramic rod. This controlled contact operation supports repeatable position monitoring in machine sequencing, end-of-travel detection and equipment-status circuits.

Typical Applications

  • Machine position and travel detection.
  • Conveyors and material-handling systems.
  • Product-presence and passage detection.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Automated production and assembly equipment.
  • Moving components with variable approach paths.
