The L51K13SOM102 pairs a blunt 7mm metal spring lever with a metal IP65 body, giving smooth, reliable actuation for everyday position and end-of-travel sensing. Where the finer 2mm spike variant is built for delicate materials, this blunt tip is the general-purpose workhorse for conveyors, packaging machinery, and panel builds.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the spike spring lever version?
This has a blunt tip rather than a spike, giving smoother actuation for general-purpose sensing rather than fine thin-material detection.
What's it commonly used for?
General end-of-travel and position detection on conveyors, packaging machinery, and panel builds.
Why choose the metal blunt lever over the plastic version (L51K13SOP101)?
The metal lever offers greater durability against knocks and rough handling — choose this where the plastic equivalent wouldn't hold up to the conditions.
Is this suitable for outdoor or washdown installation?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
