Why Choose the IMO LRC6JK-D2 Door Interlock Switch?
The IMO LRC6JK-D2 is a compact industrial safety door interlock switch with a flexible jointed actuator, designed for reliable monitoring of movable guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. As part of the IMO compact plastic door interlock range, it combines a robust plastic housing with slow-action switching for dependable machine guarding and position monitoring.
The LRC6JK-D2 uses a separate flexible jointed actuator that enters the switch head when the associated machine guard or door is closed. The jointed actuator can accommodate a degree of movement and misalignment, making it particularly useful on hinged or movable guards where a rigid actuator may be less suitable. Opening the guard withdraws the actuator and changes the state of the internal contacts.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC slow-action contact arrangement, the LRC6JK-D2 provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions for machine control and safety circuits. Its compact plastic body, IP67 protection and single PG13.5 cable entry make it well suited to demanding industrial machinery and automation installations.

Reliable Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Door interlock switches such as the IMO LRC6JK-D2 provide a mechanical method of monitoring the position of movable guards and access doors. The switch body is mounted to the fixed machine structure while the separate actuator is attached to the moving guard. Closing the guard inserts the actuator into the switch, operating the internal contacts so the associated control system can detect the guard position.
The flexible jointed actuator distinguishes the LRC6JK-D2 from straight and angled actuator versions. Its ability to accommodate movement in multiple directions makes it particularly useful where door alignment is not exact or where the actuator follows an arcuate path as a hinged guard opens and closes.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard position monitoring.
- Hinged industrial safety doors.
- Machine access panels and enclosures.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment and robotic cells.
- Conveyor and material handling machinery.
