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.

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.
