Why Choose the Pizzato FD1405-M2 Position Limit Switch?

The Pizzato FD1405-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch engineered for precise and reliable detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation and safety applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it features a one-way roller lever actuator, allowing accurate directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.

This model is constructed with a rugged metal housing and includes a M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, ensuring secure and standardised installation using industrial cable glands. Its slow-action contact system with 2 normally closed (NC) contacts provides stable and dependable switching, making it particularly suitable for fail-safe safety circuits.

With an IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +80 °C, the FD1405-M2 delivers reliable performance in harsh environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress, making it ideal for industrial automation systems.

Key Advantages

  • Heavy-duty limit switch for industrial automation and safety.
  • One-way roller lever actuator for precise directional detection.
  • Durable metal housing for harsh industrial environments.
  • 2 NC contact configuration for fail-safe circuits.
  • Slow-action switching ensures stable and reliable operation.
  • IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FD series position switch.
  • One-way roller lever actuator for controlled actuation.
  • Slow-action contact block (2 NC) with shifted contacts.
  • Positive opening contacts for enhanced safety compliance.
  • Silver contacts for reliable electrical conductivity.
  • M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry for industrial wiring.
  • High mechanical endurance for long service life.

Fail-Safe Directional Detection for Machinery

The FD1405-M2 is designed to detect mechanical movement in a specific direction using its one-way roller lever. This ensures accurate switching only when movement occurs in the intended direction, preventing false triggering and improving system reliability.

Its normally closed contact configuration ensures fail-safe behaviour by opening the circuit in the event of a fault or actuator release, making it suitable for safety-critical industrial applications.

Typical Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety interlocking systems.
  • Industrial automation and control panels.
  • Conveyor and material handling equipment.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Directional position detection systems.
  • OEM machinery and manufacturing environments.
