Why Choose the IMO LMC5A31-20R19 Compact Limit Switch?
The IMO LMC5A31-20R19 is a compact and robust industrial limit switch designed for reliable position, travel and presence detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the IMO LMC compact metal body limit switch series, it features a roller lever actuator that provides smooth mechanical engagement with moving machine components.
The LMC5A31-20R19 combines a durable metal housing with 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contacts, providing dependable electrical switching for industrial control, sequencing, interlocking and position-monitoring circuits. The roller lever arrangement is particularly useful where a moving component passes across the actuator, allowing machine movement to operate the switch through smooth rolling contact.
This variant features a single M20 cable entry, providing a widely used metric connection for industrial cabling and suitable cable glands. Its compact metal construction and versatile roller lever actuator make the LMC5A31-20R19 suitable for conveyors, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, production equipment and OEM automation systems.

Reliable Mechanical Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Mechanical limit switches such as the IMO LMC5A31-20R19 detect the position, presence or movement of machine components and convert that mechanical movement into an electrical switching signal. The roller lever actuator provides rolling contact with the operating surface, making it well suited to applications where moving machinery, products or mechanisms travel across the switch actuator.
The 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact arrangement provides a rapid change of electrical state when the switch reaches its operating point, allowing the LMC5A31-20R19 to perform machine sequencing, position monitoring, control and interlocking functions. Its compact metal construction provides a durable solution for machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable mechanical position sensing.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machine sequencing and interlocking systems.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
