Why Choose the Pizzato FK3357-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FK3357-M2 is a compact and robust electromechanical position switch with roller lever designed for reliable position detection, end-of-travel monitoring and movement control in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the versatile Pizzato FK series, it combines a durable technopolymer enclosure with a long swivelling lever and central roller for dependable operation in demanding machine applications.
The FK3357-M2 incorporates a 1NO+1NC slow-action contact block (B33), providing one normally open and one normally closed contact for flexible integration into industrial control and monitoring circuits. The normally closed contact features positive opening operation, providing direct mechanical contact separation when the actuator is correctly operated.
Its long swivelling lever with 20 mm technopolymer roller provides effective mechanical actuation from cams, carriages and other moving machine components. The switch also features a single M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry and IP67/IP69K environmental protection, making it suitable for machinery exposed to dust, water and demanding industrial operating conditions.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Electromechanical position switches such as the Pizzato FK3357-M2 provide direct physical detection of moving machine components. When a cam, carriage or other mechanical component engages the roller lever, movement is transferred through the swivelling head to the internal switching mechanism, changing the state of the electrical contacts.
The long roller lever provides an extended mechanical actuation point, while the slow-action 1NO+1NC contact arrangement delivers controlled switching according to actuator travel. Combined with positive opening of the normally closed contact and the robust FK-series enclosure, the FK3357-M2 provides dependable position feedback for PLCs, relays and conventional industrial control circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- End-of-travel and limit monitoring.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Cam and carriage position detection.
- Mechanical position feedback for PLC and relay control circuits.
