Overview
The Kacon KXM-704 light-duty limit switch combines a adjustable rod lever 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.Adjustable Rod Lever1NO/1NC, SPDT snap-actionIP65
The adjustable 30–118 mm rod lever extends the contact zone and can be set to meet moving targets at different distances from the switch body. The switch can provide endpoint confirmation, equipment interlocking, and position feedback when installed within its specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental ratings.
⚙️ Reliable Industrial Position Sensing
Actuation: Adjustable Rod Lever for model-specific machine contact.
Switching: 1NO/1NC, SPDT snap-action contacts rated 6 A at 250 VAC (resistive load).
Service Life: 300,000 electrical operations; 10,000,000 mechanical operations.

✅ Why Choose the KXM-704?
The KXM-704 pairs a adjustable rod lever actuator with IP65 protection and a 1NO/1NC, SPDT snap-action contact arrangement. It is a practical choice when the application calls for light-duty mechanical position detection with clearly defined electrical and environmental ratings.
Applications
Use the Kacon KXM-704 for position, endpoint, and interlock sensing in applications such as:
- Packaging machine travel detection
- Wide-target conveyor sensing
- Machine frame and gate monitoring
- Assembly fixture position feedback
- Light-duty equipment interlocks
Installation Notes
- Disconnect and lock out power before installation or service
- Mount the switch so the adjustable rod lever is contacted within the machine's intended travel path
- Verify actuator movement and return action before energizing the control circuit
- Wire the 1NO/1NC SPDT contacts according to the machine control requirements and the 6 A at 250 VAC (resistive load) rating
- Test the complete safety or control function after installation
⚠️ Important Installation Information
Use the model-specific rating: 6 A at 250 VAC (resistive load). Do not apply ratings from another Kacon limit switch model.
Environmental protection: IP65 is rated for dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets.
Mechanical setup: Avoid excessive actuator travel or impact beyond the specified installation requirements.
Performance Benefits
- Repeatable machine position and endpoint feedback
- Separate normally open and normally closed contact functions
- Long mechanical service life for repeated actuation
- Model-specific enclosure protection for industrial environments
🔎 Selection Reminder
Select the actuator, electrical rating, dimensions, and IP protection required by the application. KXL heavy-duty and KXM light-duty models do not share identical specifications.
