KW8 compact limit switch for reliable automation
The KW8 limit switch with a rod and roller ensures precise control for automation systems, industrial machinery, and electrical installations. With a switchable contact and a capacity of 16A at 250V AC, this microswitch is the professional solution for position detection and automatic stopping in various applications — from refrigerated doors to production equipment.
What you get with this product
- Automatic equipment control — precise stopping when the desired position is reached, without manual intervention
- Quick mounting on any surface — compact dimensions of 28x16x10mm for the housing, integrates into confined spaces
- Complete versatility — common, normally closed, and normally open contacts for adaptation to any electrical scheme
- Resistance to repeated stress — robust construction made of flame-retardant ABS plastic and metal, for intensive industrial use
- Extended compatibility — works with both 250V AC alternating current and 125V DC direct current
- Sensitive actuation via roller — the rod with a 5mm roller detects mechanical contact without requiring excessive force
How it works and how to install it
The limit switch is installed by mechanical fixing in the desired location, and the electrical connections are made via the terminals provided for common, normally closed, and normally open contacts. When the rod with the roller is pressed by the moving element of the system, the contacts switch instantly, interrupting or opening the electrical circuit. Installation only requires a screwdriver and connection to the existing electrical diagram — installation takes less than 10 minutes even for non-specialists with minimal electrical experience.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the limit switch at voltages lower than 250V?
Yes, the limit switch works perfectly at any voltage between 0 and 250V AC or 0-125V DC, including for 12V or 24V applications.
How much does the rod need to be pressed to switch the contact?
The contact switches with a light press of approximately 3-5mm travel, without requiring much force, which extends the lifespan of the component.
Can it be used for refrigerator doors or cabinets?
Absolutely, it's a classic application — correctly mounted, it detects the opening/closing of the door and controls lighting or other automatic functions.
