Why Choose the IMO LRC22A01 Limit Switch?
The IMO LRC22A01 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 position switch series, it combines a durable plastic body with a piston plunger actuator and a 2NO + 1NC contact configuration for versatile switching in industrial automation systems.
This limit switch features a 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, making the LRC22A01 suitable for machinery requiring dependable position feedback and multiple switching signals from a single device.
With its 2NO + 1NC contacts, compact 30.8 mm-wide body and single PG13.5 cable entry, the LRC22A01 provides a practical solution for space-conscious industrial installations. The IMO LR series is designed for machine builders and automation engineers requiring robust mechanical position sensing across production, handling and processing equipment.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the IMO LRC22A01 provide electrical feedback when a moving machine component reaches a predetermined position. Direct movement of the piston plunger operates the internal contacts, allowing the switch to provide position signals to PLCs, relays, contactors and other industrial control equipment.
The combination of two normally open and one normally closed contact provides flexible signalling from a single mechanical device. Together with its snap-action mechanism and compact construction, this makes the LRC22A01 particularly suitable for repetitive position sensing, machine sequencing and end-of-travel monitoring.
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.
