The Pizzato FZ2120-M2 is a robust industrial position and limit switch with a coil spring actuator and plastic tip, designed for dependable position, presence and movement detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal enclosure with a flexible spring actuator that accommodates multidirectional contact with moving machine components.
The FZ2120-M2 incorporates a 3NC slow-action contact configuration using Pizzato's contact block 21. All three contacts are normally closed, providing three switching channels for machine monitoring, interlocking and control. The slow-action mechanism provides defined contact operation according to actuator movement, while the normally closed contacts incorporate positive-opening operation for appropriate safety-related applications.
The coil spring with plastic point is particularly useful where the direction or alignment of a moving component can vary, allowing the actuator to deflect when contacted rather than requiring precise linear engagement. The M2 configuration provides M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, while the external gasket and robust FZ-series construction help provide dependable operation in demanding industrial machinery installations.
Key Advantages
Industrial position switch with flexible coil spring actuator.
Plastic actuator tip provides a practical contact point for moving machine components.
3NC slow-action contacts provide three normally closed switching channels.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ2120-M2 provide an electromechanical method of detecting moving machine components. When a component contacts the plastic-tipped coil spring, the flexible actuator deflects and transfers movement to the internal switching mechanism, changing the state of the three normally closed contacts and providing electrical signals to the associated machine control, monitoring or interlocking system.
The flexible spring actuator makes the FZ2120-M2 particularly useful where the actuating component may approach from different directions or where a rigid plunger would require more precise alignment. Combined with its 3NC slow-action contact arrangement, positive-opening operation, external actuator gasket and metric cable-entry configuration, the switch provides dependable mechanical detection for industrial automation and machinery applications.
Typical Applications
Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Packaging and production machinery.
Moving-component and overtravel detection.
Machine monitoring and interlocking systems.
Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FZ2120-M2 used for?
The FZ2120-M2 is an industrial position and limit switch used to detect the position, presence or movement of mechanical components in machinery and automation systems.
What actuator does the Pizzato FZ2120-M2 use?
The FZ2120-M2 uses a flexible coil spring actuator with a plastic point, allowing it to be operated by machine components approaching from different directions.
What contact configuration does the FZ2120-M2 have?
The FZ2120-M2 incorporates contact block 21 with 3NC slow-action contacts, providing three normally closed switching channels with positive-opening operation.
What does M2 mean on the Pizzato FZ2120-M2?
The M2 configuration identifies the metric cable-entry version, using M20 × 1.5 threaded entries for industrial control wiring.
Why use a coil spring actuator on the FZ2120-M2?
The flexible coil spring can deflect when contacted from different directions, making the FZ2120-M2 useful where the moving machine component cannot provide the precise linear engagement required by a conventional piston plunger.
