Why Choose the Lovato KXAC1V302 Plastic Roller Centre Operating Head?
The Lovato KXAC1V302 is a special-version operating head with a plastic roller centre push lever for Lovato K series industrial limit switches. Designed for mechanical position sensing applications, it provides smooth and repeatable actuation when contacted by cams, moving machine components and other mechanical mechanisms.
The KXAC platform uses a centre push lever with plastic roller, helping reduce sliding friction and wear at the point of mechanical contact. The operating head can be used as a replacement component for compatible Lovato limit switches or combined with a suitable KXC contact-equipped body to create a complete limit switch configuration.
Designed for compatibility with Lovato KB…, KC…, KM… and KN… limit switch ranges, the KXA operating-head system uses a practical bayonet coupling mechanism for quick installation without tools. The head-to-body interface also allows the operating head to be oriented in 45° increments, providing installation flexibility for different machinery layouts and directions of actuation.

Modular Mechanical Actuation for Lovato K Series Limit Switches
Lovato KXA operating heads provide a modular way to configure or maintain K series industrial limit switches. The KXAC roller centre push-lever arrangement converts movement from a cam or machine component into mechanical movement at the switch body, allowing the associated contact block to provide an electrical position or end-of-travel signal.
The plastic roller provides a low-friction contact surface for repeated interaction with moving machinery, while the adjustable head and lever positions make installation easier where the direction of mechanical travel varies. This modular construction also allows a worn or damaged operating head to be replaced without necessarily replacing the complete limit switch assembly.
Typical Applications
- Replacement operating heads for compatible Lovato K series limit switches.
- Industrial machine position detection.
- End-of-travel sensing on moving machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Machine tools and automated equipment.
- Cam-operated position detection systems.
- OEM machinery requiring a roller centre push-lever actuator.
