Why Choose the Pizzato MKF11F59-R16 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKF11F59-R16 is a compact and reliable microswitch with roller lever designed for precise mechanical position detection in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems. Part of the established Pizzato MK microswitch series, this model combines a robust technopolymer housing with snap-action changeover contacts and a metal roller actuator for dependable operation.
The MKF11F59-R16 uses back direct actuation and a roller lever, allowing moving machine components, cams and mechanisms to operate the switch smoothly. Its 1NO+1NC changeover contact configuration provides both normally open and normally closed signalling functions, making the device suitable for a wide variety of control, monitoring and interlocking circuits.
The R16 variant incorporates a metal roller, providing a durable contact surface for repeated mechanical actuation. Combined with Faston terminals angled at 45 degrees to the right, the MKF11F59-R16 offers a compact connection arrangement suited to space-conscious machinery and automation installations.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Automation
Microswitches such as the Pizzato MKF11F59-R16 convert physical movement into an electrical switching signal, allowing machinery control systems to detect component positions, travel limits and operating states. Snap-action switching helps provide consistent electrical operation even when actuator movement occurs relatively slowly.
The roller lever arrangement is particularly useful where a moving cam, slide or machine component passes across the actuator. The metal roller of the R16 version provides a durable interface for repeated mechanical contact, while the compact MK-series housing allows the switch to be incorporated into restricted installation spaces.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position monitoring.
- Machine travel and limit detection.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Automated production machinery.
- Control and interlocking circuits.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
