“KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES

1. “KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES

2. “KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES FACTS The LIMIT SWITCH is an electromechanical device, which can interact with the ambient by sensing an external movement and transforming it into an electric signal that can then be handled by an appropriate control system. It can be used to detect the position of mobile equipment and for safety applications.

3. “KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES FACTS Three fundamental parts compose the LIMIT SWITCH: Head Contact block • Operating head • Body (housing or container) • Contact block Body

4. “KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES LOVATO Electric has innovated the range of limit by designing the new K series with dimensions per EN50047: • KB series with plastic body • KM series with metal body

22. STOCK MANAGEMENT Interpretation of the complete switch order codes Example: K B A 1 S 1 1 Limit switch, K series, EN 50047 standard Type of body B = Plastic housing M = Metal housing A1 = Top push rod plunger B1 = Plastic top roller push plunger B2 = Metal top roller push plunger C1 = Plastic roller centre push lever C2 = Metal roller centre push lever D1 = Plastic roller side push lever and so on Type of contact S = Snap action L = Slow-break action Contact numbering 11 = 1NO+1NC 02 = 2NC 20 = 2NO 12 = 1NO+2NC 21 = 2NO+1NC 03 = 3NC

23. STOCK MANAGEMENT Body complete with auxiliary contacts only Example: K X C B S 1 1 Limit switch, K series, EN 50047 standard X = Accessorial identification Type of body CB = Plastic housing CM = metal housing Type of contact S = Snap action L = Slow-break action Contact numbering 11 = 1NO+1NC 02 = 2NC 20 = 2NO 12 = 1NO+2NC 21 = 2NO+1NC 03 = 3NC

24. STOCK MANAGEMENT Operating heads Example: K X A A 1 Limit switch. K series, EN 50047 standard X = Accessorial identification A= Operator Type of operator A1 = Top push rod plunger B1 = Plastic top roller push plunger B2 = Metal top roller push plunger C1 = Plastic roller centre push lever C2 = Metal roller centre push lever D1 = Plastic roller side push lever and so on
