Why Choose the IMO LDC16A38 Limit Switch?
The IMO LDC16A38 is a robust industrial limit switch designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery, automation and control applications. Part of the IMO LD series, this standard-format position switch uses a long-neck lever head to detect movement and position within industrial equipment.
The LDC16A38 features a 2 normally closed (2 NC) contact configuration, allowing two control circuits to change state when the actuator is mechanically operated. Its lever-type actuator provides convenient mechanical engagement with moving machine components, making the switch suitable for travel detection, position monitoring and machine sequencing.
With its compact industrial housing and long-neck lever actuator, the LDC16A38 can be integrated into conveyors, production machinery, material handling systems and other automated equipment. Its mechanical switching principle provides straightforward and dependable position feedback without requiring a separate electronic sensing system.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Mechanical limit switches provide an electrical indication when a moving component physically operates the switch actuator. The long-neck lever arrangement of the IMO LDC16A38 allows a moving machine component or cam to operate the switch, enabling a control system to determine position, movement or end-of-travel conditions.
The LDC16A38 incorporates two normally closed contacts, providing a useful switching arrangement for industrial control circuits. Its mechanical operating principle makes it suitable for machine builders, automation engineers and maintenance applications where robust physical position detection is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- End-of-travel monitoring.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machine mechanisms and moving assemblies.
- OEM automation and control systems.
