“KB” - “KM” SERIES LIMIT SWITCHES

“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. M22 GB 14 10 03
