Why Choose the Lovato KNM2A11 Omnidirectional Wobble Stick Limit Switch?
The Lovato KNM2A11 is an industrial KNM series omnidirectional wobble stick limit switch designed for mechanical position, movement and presence detection in machinery and automation systems. Its semirigid rod actuator can be operated from multiple directions, making it suitable for applications where mechanical contact may approach the switch from different angles.
The KNM2A11 combines a robust aluminium-zinc alloy housing with 1NO + 1NC slow-action make-before-break contacts. This overlapping contact arrangement provides one normally open and one normally closed contact, while positive opening of the normally closed contact supports dependable mechanically operated switching.
With M20 cable entries on the sides, self-releasing screw terminals and an IP65 body housing protection rating, the KNM2A11 is designed for practical installation in industrial machinery. Its dimensions are compatible with EN 50047, making it suitable for standardised machine-control and automation applications.

Omnidirectional Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Wobble stick limit switches provide electromechanical detection where the actuator may be contacted from different directions. Deflection of the rod operates the internal contacts, allowing machinery and control systems to detect the position, presence or movement of compatible machine components and materials.
The Lovato KNM2A11 combines an omnidirectional semirigid rod with 1NO + 1NC slow-action make-before-break contacts and a durable metal housing. Its EN 50047-compatible dimensions, IP65 body protection and M20 side cable entries make it a practical choice for industrial automation and machine-control applications requiring multidirectional mechanical detection.
