LKC3A50-16 IMO Limit Switch, Extra Compact Adjustable Steel Rod 3x125mm

Why Choose the IMO LKC3A50-16 Extra-Compact Limit Switch?

The IMO LKC3A50-16 is an extra-compact industrial limit switch designed for reliable position detection and mechanical switching in machinery and automation systems. Featuring an adjustable steel rod actuator, snap-action contacts and a compact glass-reinforced plastic body, it provides a versatile solution where installation space is limited.

The LKC3A50-16 uses a 3 × 125 mm adjustable steel rod actuator that can be positioned to suit the mechanical movement of the application. Its 1NO + 1NC snap-action contact configuration provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions, supporting a wide variety of industrial control and position-sensing circuits.

Designed for compact machinery and automation installations, the LKC3A50-16 combines a durable GRP body with a single M16 cable entry. Its adjustable rod actuator is particularly useful where direct plunger or roller operation is impractical and a larger mechanical target area is required.

Key Advantages

• Extra-compact industrial limit switch for space-restricted installations.
• Adjustable 3 × 125 mm steel rod actuator provides flexible mechanical positioning.
• 1NO + 1NC contacts support both normally open and normally closed switching functions.
• Snap-action mechanism provides positive, repeatable switching.
• Durable glass-reinforced plastic body for industrial applications.
• Single M16 cable entry simplifies connection and installation.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Limit switches provide electromechanical position detection by changing contact state when machinery physically moves an actuator. This enables controllers and electrical circuits to detect end positions, component presence, machine movement and other mechanical conditions without requiring electronic sensing technology.

The IMO LKC3A50-16 uses an adjustable steel rod to provide a flexible mechanical interface between the moving equipment and the switch. Combined with its snap-action 1NO + 1NC contacts and extra-compact body, this makes it well suited to machinery where reliable switching is required within a restricted installation area.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
• Automated production equipment.
• Packaging machinery.
• Material handling systems.
• Conveyor and transfer equipment.
• Machine end-of-travel detection.
