Why Choose the Pizzato FD519-T6 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD519-T6 is a heavy-duty position switch with rolling ball piston plunger, designed for reliable detection in extreme industrial environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it delivers consistent performance, long service life and excellent resistance to mechanical stress.
Built with a durable metal housing and a PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, the FD519-T6 is engineered for demanding applications involving dust, moisture and vibration. The rolling ball piston plunger actuator (Ø12.7 mm) ensures smooth and repeatable actuation while reducing wear, making it suitable for high-cycle machinery.
The T6 variant is specifically designed for extended temperature operation from approximately -40°C to +80°C, making it ideal for harsh environments where standard switches may fail. It features a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration with positive opening functionality for dependable switching in both control and safety circuits.
