Why Choose the IMO LRC11A17 Limit Switch?
The IMO LRC11A17 is a compact and reliable industrial limit switch designed for mechanical position detection, end-of-travel sensing and machine control applications. As part of the IMO LR series, it combines a durable plastic body with a roller piston plunger actuator and two normally closed contacts for dependable switching in industrial automation systems.
This limit switch features a roller piston plunger with an M12 neck, allowing moving machine components to actuate the switch smoothly while reducing direct sliding friction on the plunger. Its snap-action switching mechanism provides fast, repeatable contact operation, making the LRC11A17 suitable for machinery, conveyors, guards and automated equipment requiring reliable position feedback.
The LRC11A17 incorporates 2NC contacts, a compact technopolymer-style housing and a PG13.5 cable entry. IMO LR series switches are designed for demanding industrial environments and provide protected construction suitable for installation on machinery and automation equipment.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the IMO LRC11A17 provide electrical feedback when a moving machine component reaches a predetermined position. Physical movement of the roller piston plunger operates the internal contacts, allowing the switch to signal a PLC, relay, contactor or other machine control equipment.
The roller actuator helps reduce friction where moving components repeatedly contact the switch, while the snap-action mechanism provides rapid contact changeover. This makes the LRC11A17 well suited to repetitive industrial position sensing, machine travel monitoring and automated control applications.
Typical Applications
- Machine end-of-travel and position detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Machine guards, doors and access mechanisms.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- OEM control systems and industrial machinery.
