Overview
The
Kacon KXM-312 light-duty limit switch combines a cross roller plunger actuator with a 1NO/1NC, SPDT snap-action contact arrangement for dependable machine position detection. Its plastic cover over an aluminum housing supports use on compact industrial automation equipment.Cross Roller Plunger1NO/1NC, SPDT snap-actionIP65
The cross roller plunger supports lateral cam travel across the actuator, making it useful where the target moves across the switch rather than directly into it. The switch can provide endpoint confirmation, equipment interlocking, and position feedback when installed within its specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental ratings.
