Why Choose the Pizzato FD1634 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD1634 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch with coiled spring rod actuator, designed for reliable and safety-focused position detection in demanding automation environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it delivers consistent switching performance and long mechanical life for high-cycle industrial applications.
This model features a coiled spring lever with plastic tip, allowing tolerance to misalignment and variable contact points. This makes it ideal for machinery where precise alignment cannot be guaranteed. Its metal housing with PG13.5 conduit entry provides strong resistance to vibration, dust, and moisture, ensuring dependable operation in harsh industrial conditions.
Equipped with a 2 NC slow-action independent contact configuration, the FD1634 is optimised for safety circuits. Normally closed contacts ensure fail-safe operation by opening the circuit when actuated or in the event of a fault, making it suitable for machine safety interlocks and protective systems.

Designed for Flexible and Safe Actuation
Limit switches such as the Pizzato FD1634 provide essential feedback for monitoring the position of moving machine components. The coiled spring actuator allows flexible engagement, reducing mechanical stress and improving durability where alignment varies.
The use of normally closed contacts enhances safety by ensuring fail-safe behaviour, where circuits open in the event of a fault or activation, making it suitable for critical machine safety applications.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety interlocks and protective circuits.
- End-of-travel detection in industrial machinery.
- Automation and control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- OEM machine building and integration.
