Why Choose the Pizzato FM2001-W3 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FM2001-W3 is a heavy-duty limit/position switch with reset function, designed for precise mechanical detection and enhanced safety in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FM series, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments where controlled operation is essential.
This model features a short piston plunger actuator combined with a W3 simultaneous reset mechanism, ensuring that the switch must be reset before normal operation resumes. Its metal housing construction provides excellent durability and long service life in harsh industrial conditions.
The FM2001-W3 is equipped with a 1 NO + 2 NC slow-action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it highly suitable for safety circuits and machine protection systems. A PG13.5 conduit entry allows straightforward installation in standard industrial wiring setups.

Controlled Reset for Safety-Critical Applications
Limit switches with reset functionality, such as the FM2001-W3, are used in applications where machinery must not automatically restart after actuation. The integrated reset mechanism ensures that operators must intentionally reset the system, improving safety and reducing the risk of unintended operation.
The FM series is widely trusted by automation engineers and machine builders due to its robust construction, precise actuation and compliance with industrial safety standards.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring controlled restart.
- Safety interlocking systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- End-of-travel detection with reset requirement.
- OEM machine building applications.
