Why Choose the Pizzato FD 638 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD 638 is a robust position switch for rotating levers, designed for reliable mechanical detection in industrial automation and safety systems. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FD series, it offers durable construction and consistent switching performance in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a metal housing with PG 13.5 threaded conduit entry and a 1NO + 1NC slow action contact block (B6). The slow action switching mechanism ensures stable and controlled switching behaviour, making it suitable for applications requiring defined switching points.
With an IP67 protection rating and positive opening, the FD 638 is engineered to perform reliably in environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress, while maintaining safety integrity in critical control circuits.
