Why Choose the IMO LRC20A08 Limit Switch?
The IMO LRC20A08 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 sealed piston plunger actuator and a 1NO + 2NC contact configuration for versatile switching in industrial automation systems.
This limit switch features a sealed piston plunger actuator for direct mechanical operation by cams, stops and other moving machine components. Its snap-action switching mechanism provides rapid and repeatable contact operation, helping deliver dependable position feedback in machinery and automated equipment.
With its 1NO + 2NC contacts and compact construction, the LRC20A08 provides multiple switching signals from a single mechanical device. A PG13.5 cable entry enables straightforward integration into industrial wiring systems, while the sealed plunger arrangement makes the switch well suited to demanding machine-position sensing applications.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the IMO LRC20A08 provide electrical feedback when a moving machine component reaches a predetermined position. Direct movement of the sealed piston plunger operates the internal contacts, enabling the switch to provide position signals to PLCs, relays, contactors and other industrial control equipment.
The combination of one normally open and two normally closed contacts provides additional signalling flexibility compared with conventional two-contact switches. Together with its snap-action mechanism and compact construction, this makes the LRC20A08 a practical solution for repetitive position sensing and machine control duties.
Typical Applications
- Machine end-of-travel and position detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Cam and stop operated machine control.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- OEM control systems and industrial machinery.
