Why Choose the Lovato Electric KBH1S02 Limit Switch?
The Lovato Electric KBH1S02 is a robust K series industrial limit switch with ceramic rod lever designed for reliable position detection in machinery and automation systems. Its polymer thermoplastic housing and ceramic operating rod provide a durable electromechanical switching solution for industrial applications requiring dependable mechanical sensing.
The KBH1S02 incorporates 2 normally closed (2NC) snap-action contacts and has a conventional thermal current rating of 10 A. Its electrical characteristics include an A600 Q600 IEC/EN 60947-5-1 designation, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV.
Designed with dimensions according to EN 50047, the KBH1S02 features a bottom M20 cable entry and self-releasing screw terminals for practical industrial installation. Its body housing provides IP65 protection, while the ceramic rod lever provides mechanical actuation for position and travel detection applications.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Industrial limit switches provide electromechanical position detection by changing contact state when their actuator is physically operated by a moving machine component. This allows machinery control systems to detect travel limits, component positions and mechanical movements without relying on electronic sensing at the point of actuation.
The Lovato Electric KBH1S02 combines a ceramic rod lever with two normally closed snap-action contacts. Its snap-action mechanism provides rapid contact switching when the operating point is reached, while its thermoplastic construction and IP65 body housing protection make it suitable for professional machine-building and industrial automation applications.
Typical Applications
Industrial machinery position detection.
Machine travel and end-position monitoring.
Factory automation systems.
Conveyors and material handling equipment.
Production and processing machinery.
Industrial control and signalling circuits.
