Conveyors, doors, lifts and machine slides need a limit switch that signals position reliably and survives a plant floor. The Lovato KME1S11N is a K-series limit switch with a plastic roller lever plunger, metal body and 1NO+1NC snap-action contacts, built to EN 50047 dimensions. The N version has a single bottom cable entry threaded 1/2 in NPT for North American conduit fittings.
Why maintenance electricians pick it
- Snap-action 1NO+1NC contacts switch cleanly even at slow actuator speeds.
- Metal body with IP65 enclosure protection for dusty, wet plant areas.
- EN 50047 standard dimensions, so it swaps with other switches built to that footprint.
- Bayonet head can be repositioned or changed without tools.
- cULus and CSA C22.2 No. 14 approvals.

Pro tip from the counter
Wire the NC contact for the stop or end-of-travel signal so a cut wire drops the circuit out instead of leaving it running. Set the cam to push the roller only partway into its travel rather than bottoming out the plunger, which is what wears the head out on high-cycle conveyors.
Best for: conveyor end-of-travel, overhead door and gate position, machine slides and carriages, packaging equipment maintenance
