Why Choose the IMO LDC5A31 Heavy-Duty Limit Switch?
The IMO LDC5A31 is a robust heavy-duty industrial limit switch designed for reliable position detection and mechanical switching in machinery, automation and industrial control systems. It features a roller lever with offset actuator, allowing moving machine components to operate the switch smoothly while reducing direct sliding contact with the actuator.
The LDC5A31 uses a C5 snap-action contact block with 1NO + 1NC contacts, providing normally open and normally closed switching functions for control, monitoring and signalling circuits. Its metal construction, bifurcated contacts and removable contact block are designed to provide dependable operation while simplifying installation, wiring and maintenance.
With an IP67 protection rating, 3 A at 400 V AC maximum contact rating and single conduit entry, the LDC5A31 is well suited to demanding industrial machinery. Its offset roller lever configuration provides effective mechanical position detection for conveyors, machine tools, production equipment and automated systems.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the IMO LDC5A31 provide an electrical switching signal when physical movement of a machine component operates the roller lever. This enables industrial control systems to detect positions, monitor moving equipment, initiate machine sequences and provide interlocking or signalling functions.
The LDC5A31's offset roller lever actuator allows a moving component to engage the switch through a rolling contact surface, helping provide smooth and repeatable mechanical operation. Combined with its metal enclosure, IP67 protection and snap-action contacts, the switch is suitable for repetitive position sensing throughout industrial machinery and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and end-of-travel detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Machine tools and automated equipment.
- Mechanical position monitoring and sequencing.
- Industrial control and interlocking systems.
