Omron WLCA2-8-N Limit Switch
Omron WLCA2-8-N is a standard-size two-circuit limit switch with a roller lever for mechanical position and end-of-travel detection. The actuator suits moving cams, slides, and machine parts that need repeatable switching along a defined path. Its 10 A rating supports industrial control circuits, while screw terminals and a G1/2 conduit opening provide practical field wiring. IP67 dust-tight and waterproof protection supports demanding factory environments, and long mechanical life suits repetitive production cycles. The WLCA2-8-N belongs to the WL Series within the standard roller lever limit switch range from Omron control products for robust machine position detection.

The Omron WLCA2-8-N Limit Switch is a standard-size two-circuit limit switch with a roller lever actuator for machine position and end-of-travel detection. The lever arrangement suits moving cams, slides, and mechanical parts that require repeatable switching along a defined travel path. It is rated for 10 A and uses screw terminals with a G1/2 conduit opening for field wiring. Pretravel is specified at 15°, with overtravel up to 70°, supporting a practical operating movement range. IP67 protection provides dust-tight and waterproof construction, while the operating temperature range extends from -10 to 80°C for industrial applications.
The WLCA2-8-N is specified for at least 10 million mechanical operations and 500,000 electrical operations, supporting frequent switching in factory automation. Operating force is listed at 820 gf and release force at 72 gf, providing defined mechanical actuation and return characteristics. The standard-size body, two-circuit configuration, roller lever, screw-terminal connection, and high durability make the model suitable for machine tools, conveyors, transfer equipment, and other mechanisms requiring robust position feedback during repeated production machine cycles. Its IP67 enclosure also supports use where dust or moisture may reach the switch. For another WL Series roller-lever configuration from the supplied product range, see the WLCA2-7-N model.
