Overview
The Allen-Bradley 802M-KY5 is a factory-sealed limit switch engineered for precision position detection in demanding industrial environments. This heavy-duty switch combines robust construction with factory-sealed integrity, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable position monitoring across machinery, material handling systems, and process automation. Pre-wired and complete, the 802M-KY5 arrives ready for installation with a standard 5 ft STO cable, minimizing setup time and reducing field assembly errors.
Key Features
- Factory Sealed Design: Protects internal contacts from contamination, ensuring consistent performance in harsh environments
- Side Push Roller Actuator: Vertical orientation with smooth, repeatable engagement for reliable switching
- 2-Circuit Configuration: Dual circuit contacts enable simultaneous control of two independent circuits from a single actuator event
- Pre-Wired Assembly: Includes 5 ft standard STO cable for reduced installation labor and faster commissioning
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand industrial shock, vibration, and harsh mounting conditions
- Compact Form Factor: Easy integration into confined spaces without sacrificing electrical or mechanical performance
