Why Choose the Pizzato FM2101-W3M2 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FM2101-W3M2 is a heavy-duty limit/position switch with reset function, designed for precise position detection and enhanced safety in industrial automation systems. As part of the rugged Pizzato FM series, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments where controlled restart is essential.
This model features a short piston plunger actuator combined with a W3 simultaneous reset mechanism, ensuring the switch must be reset before normal operation resumes. Its metal housing construction provides excellent durability and long mechanical life in harsh industrial conditions.
The FM2101-W3M2 is equipped with a 3 normally closed (NC) slow-action contact configuration and positive opening operation, making it highly suitable for safety circuits and machine protection systems. The M20 x 1.5 conduit entry allows easy installation in industrial wiring environments.

Controlled Reset for Safety-Critical Applications
Limit switches with reset functionality, such as the FM2101-W3M2, are used in safety-critical applications where machinery must not automatically restart after actuation. The integrated reset mechanism ensures that operators must intentionally reset the system, improving safety and preventing unintended operation.
The Pizzato FM series is widely trusted by automation engineers for its robust construction, precise actuation and compliance with industrial safety requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring controlled restart.
- Safety interlocking and protection systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- End-of-travel detection with reset requirement.
- OEM machine building applications.
