The EMAS LK10K13 is a durable snap-action replacement limit switch contact block featuring one normally closed (1NC) and one normally open (1NO) contact. Designed primarily for compatible EMAS L4 Series industrial limit switches, this replacement component provides dependable electrical switching for machinery position detection, automation and industrial control applications.
Featuring a short operating plunger and a rapid snap-action switching mechanism, the LK10K13 changes contact state when the associated limit switch actuator reaches its operating point. Its complementary contact arrangement enables electrical position feedback and auxiliary control functions within industrial machinery.
With a 3 A rated operating current at 240 V AC under AC-15 conditions, silver nickel (AgNi) contacts and a minimum mechanical endurance of 10 million operations, the EMAS LK10K13 is designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Its replaceable construction also supports economical maintenance of compatible limit switch assemblies.
The EMAS LK10K13 incorporates a snap-action switching mechanism designed to provide a rapid change of electrical contact state when the associated limit switch actuator reaches its operating point. This decisive switching action is useful in machinery control systems where repeatable mechanical position detection is required.
Its 1NC + 1NO contact configuration provides two complementary switching functions. The normally closed contact can be incorporated into an appropriate monitoring or control circuit, while the normally open contact provides an additional position-dependent signal to a PLC, control relay or other compatible electrical device.
Unlike a slow-action contact block, whose contacts operate progressively with actuator movement, the LK10K13 uses a spring-operated snap mechanism to change contact state rapidly. This makes it suitable for industrial control applications requiring a defined switching transition.
The LK10K13 is primarily designed for EMAS L4 Series limit switches. Its replaceable construction enables maintenance engineers to restore contact functionality while retaining the compatible switch housing and mechanical actuator.
The EMAS replacement contact block range includes several switching mechanisms and plunger arrangements. Selecting the correct variant is important for reliable mechanical operation.
For a correct replacement, match the original component's contact action, contact configuration, plunger length and compatible switch housing. A contact block intended for one housing family should not be substituted without confirming mechanical compatibility.

The EMAS LK10K13 is a replacement snap-action contact block for compatible EMAS industrial limit switches, used in machinery position detection, electrical control and industrial automation applications.
The LK10K13 features one normally closed (1NC) and one normally open (1NO) contact, providing two complementary electrical switching functions.
The LK10K13 is a snap-action contact block. Its contacts change state rapidly when the actuator reaches the operating point. The LK10K23 is the corresponding slow-action variant with a short plunger.
The LK10K13 is rated at 3 A at 240 V AC for the AC-15 utilisation category, with a rated insulation voltage of 300 V.
The LK10K13 is designed primarily for EMAS L4 Series limit switches. Some manufacturer documentation also identifies optional use with selected L1 and L2 configurations, so compatibility should be confirmed for the specific assembly.
The LK10K13 features a short operating plunger. The LK11K13 is the corresponding snap-action L4 contact block with a long plunger.
Both contact blocks feature 1NC + 1NO contacts and a short plunger, but the LK10K13 uses a snap-action mechanism, while the LK10K23 uses a slow-action mechanism.
No. The LK10K13 is a replacement contact block and requires a compatible limit switch housing and actuator to form a complete mechanically operated limit switch assembly.
EMAS industrial limit switch contact blocks provide practical replacement solutions for machinery control and automation systems. The EMAS LK10K13 combines snap-action switching, 1NC + 1NO contacts, a short operating plunger and long mechanical endurance to support reliable position detection and maintenance of compatible EMAS limit switch assemblies.
