£23.49
Why Choose the IMO LPC5A25 Standard Limit Switch?
The IMO LPC5A25 is a robust industrial limit switch designed for reliable position, presence and movement detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the IMO LPC standard limit switch range, it features a sealed coiled spring actuator that provides flexible mechanical operation where precise alignment between a moving component and the switch is difficult.
The LPC5A25 combines a durable plastic body with NO + NC snap-action contacts, providing dependable electrical switching for industrial control, sequencing, interlocking and position-monitoring circuits. Its flexible coiled spring actuator can accommodate contact from moving machine components approaching from different positions or directions.
A single PG13.5 cable entry provides a straightforward connection point for industrial control wiring. The combination of flexible actuation, snap-action switching and an industrial plastic enclosure makes the LPC5A25 suitable for conveyors, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, production equipment and OEM automation systems.
Key Advantages
- Standard-format industrial limit switch for position and movement detection.

Flexible Mechanical Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Mechanical limit switches such as the IMO LPC5A25 detect the position, presence or movement of machine components and convert that mechanical movement into an electrical switching signal. The sealed coiled spring actuator provides flexible operation, allowing the switch to respond to contact without requiring the precise axial alignment associated with a rigid piston plunger.
The NO + NC snap-action contact arrangement provides a rapid change of electrical state when the switch reaches its operating point, allowing the LPC5A25 to perform machine sequencing, position monitoring, control and interlocking functions. Its flexible actuator makes it particularly useful in applications where the path or contact point of the moving component can vary.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and movement detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Object and product presence detection.
- Machine sequencing and interlocking systems.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
