The EMAS L2K13SOP101 is a robust industrial snap-action limit switch designed for reliable detection of moving machine parts in automation and mechanical control systems. As part of the EMAS L2 metal-body series, it combines an aluminium housing with a plastic cover and a flexible metal spring lever actuator.
The actuator has a pointed plastic tip measuring 7 mm, allowing the switch to respond to movement from components that may not follow a perfectly fixed path. Its 1NO+1NC snap-action contact block changes state rapidly when the operating point is reached, supporting dependable control and position-monitoring functions.
Rated for 3 A at 240 V AC in AC-15 applications, the L2K13SOP101 provides a minimum mechanical life of 10,000,000 operations. Its IP65 enclosure, replaceable contact block and three cable entries make it suitable for demanding industrial machinery and automation installations.
Spring lever limit switches are well suited to machinery where the actuating component may approach from slightly different positions. The flexible lever deflects when contacted, operating the internal snap-action mechanism without requiring the rigid alignment associated with a conventional plunger.
The EMAS L2K13SOP101 uses a replaceable 1NO+1NC contact block to provide rapid electrical switching at its operating point. Its metal body, flexible actuator and multiple cable-entry options support installation across a wide range of industrial machinery.
