Metal Short Lever Roller 1CO MK1 Series Micro Switch
The MK1MIM1 adds a small roller to the tip of a short lever, so the actuating part rolls smoothly across the switch rather than dragging or catching against a plain hinge lever. That's a genuine advantage on cam or conveyor-driven actuation where repeated sliding contact would otherwise wear a plain lever faster.
A versatile and rugged micro switch from EMAS suitable for many different applications.
10A rated for resistive loads or 6A for inductive. By choosing EMAS you can be assured of safety and quality, microswitches are UKCA and CE marked.
Changeover contact allows for normally closed or normally open wiring. Fast on crimps or soldered connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the benefit of the roller tip over a plain hinge lever?
The roller lets the actuating part roll smoothly across the switch rather than dragging, reducing wear on cam or conveyor-driven applications with repeated sliding contact.
Why is it rated both 6A and 10A?
6A is the standard AC15 inductive load rating; 10A applies to purely resistive loads. Check which load type your circuit switches.
Can I wire this as normally open or normally closed?
Yes — the changeover (C.O.) contact supports either wiring configuration from the same part.
Is this suitable for washdown areas?
It's IP20 rated, suited to standard indoor equipment rather than washdown or outdoor environments.
Industry Applications
- Cam & conveyor switching — smooth, low-wear actuation for repeated sliding contact
- Machine guarding & position sensing — compact detection with reduced mechanical wear
- Panel builders & OEMs — general-purpose end-of-travel switching
