Why Choose the EMAS LK10K23 Slow-Action Limit Switch Contact Block?
The EMAS LK10K23 is a reliable slow-action replacement limit switch contact block featuring one normally closed (1NC) and one normally open (1NO) contact. Designed specifically for compatible EMAS L4 Series limit switches, this industrial spare part provides dependable mechanical position detection and electrical control switching for machinery, automation and manufacturing equipment.
Featuring a short operating plunger and slow-action switching mechanism, the LK10K23 changes its contact states progressively as the associated limit switch actuator moves. This makes it suitable for applications requiring mechanically controlled switching, position monitoring and auxiliary signalling.
The LK10K23 belongs to the EMAS industrial limit switch replacement contact range and offers a practical solution for maintenance engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers. Its 1NC + 1NO contact arrangement provides complementary switching functions, while its replaceable construction allows compatible L4 limit switches to be serviced without replacing the complete switch assembly.

Reliable Slow-Action Switching for Industrial Limit Switches
The EMAS LK10K23 uses a slow-action contact mechanism in which electrical contact movement is linked to the displacement of the associated limit switch actuator. As the actuator moves, the contact mechanism progressively changes the state of its normally closed and normally open contacts.
This differs from a snap-action mechanism, which changes contact state rapidly after reaching a defined operating point. The LK10K23 is therefore suitable for machinery applications where a slow-action contact arrangement is specified by the original equipment design.
The 1NC + 1NO configuration provides two complementary electrical functions. The normally closed contact can be incorporated into an appropriate control or monitoring circuit, while the normally open contact can provide an additional position-dependent signal to a relay, PLC or other compatible control device.
The LK10K23 is specifically intended for EMAS L4 Series limit switches. It should not be confused with the LK20K23, which is designed for different EMAS limit switch body families. Correct contact block selection is important for mechanical compatibility and dependable switch operation.
EMAS LK10K23 Compared with Other L4 Contact Blocks
The EMAS L4 replacement contact block range includes both slow-action and snap-action variants, with different plunger lengths to suit the original switch mechanism.
- LK10K23: Slow-action, 1NC + 1NO, short plunger.
- LK10K13: Snap-action, 1NC + 1NO, short plunger.
- LK11K23: Slow-action, 1NC + 1NO, long plunger.
- LK11K13: Snap-action, 1NC + 1NO, long plunger.
For a correct replacement, match the original contact block's action type, contact configuration, plunger length and compatible switch housing.
