Why Choose the IMO LRC13A31-20 Limit Switch?
The IMO LRC13A31-20 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 technopolymer housing with a roller lever actuator and two normally closed contacts for dependable switching in industrial automation systems.
This limit switch features a roller lever actuator that allows moving machine components to operate the switch smoothly while reducing sliding friction at the point of contact. Its slow-action, shifted and spaced contact mechanism provides controlled switching of the two normally closed contacts, making the LRC13A31-20 suitable for machinery where reliable position monitoring is required.
The LRC13A31-20 incorporates 2NC contacts with early-break operation, a compact plastic body and a single M20 cable entry. Its robust construction makes it well suited to machine building, conveyors, material handling equipment and other industrial automation applications requiring dependable mechanical position detection.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the IMO LRC13A31-20 provide electrical feedback when a moving machine component reaches a predetermined position. Physical movement of the roller lever operates the internal contacts, allowing the switch to interface with PLCs, relays, contactors and other industrial control equipment.
The roller lever provides a practical interface for cams, slides and other moving mechanisms, while the slow-action contact arrangement provides controlled operation of the two normally closed contacts. This makes the LRC13A31-20 particularly suitable for repetitive position sensing, machine travel monitoring and automated control applications.
Typical Applications
- Machine end-of-travel and position detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Machine guards, doors and access mechanisms.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- OEM control systems and industrial machinery.
