The Pizzato FD1018-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial position / limit switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FD Series, it features a rolling ball piston plunger actuator, ensuring smooth, low-friction operation and extended service life in high-cycle industrial applications.
Built with a durable metal housing, the FD1018-M2 is engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions including vibration, dust, and moisture. Its slow-action contact mechanism provides controlled and stable switching, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent and reliable signal transitions.
This model includes a M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry and is supplied without a connector or cable gland, allowing flexible installation. With IP67 protection and a 2 NO contact configuration, it is well suited for industrial machinery, conveyors, and automation systems where durability and precision are essential.
