Why Choose the Pizzato FM2201-W3M2 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FM2201-W3M2 is a robust limit/position switch with reset mechanism, engineered for precise position detection and enhanced safety in industrial automation systems. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FM series, it is designed to perform reliably in demanding environments where controlled restart and safety compliance are essential.
This model features a short piston plunger actuator combined with a W3 simultaneous reset device, ensuring the switch must be reset before normal machine operation resumes. Its metal housing construction provides excellent durability and long service life in harsh industrial conditions.
The FM2201-W3M2 includes a 2 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) slow-action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it suitable for both control and safety circuits. The M20 x 1.5 conduit entry allows easy installation, while its high ingress protection supports use in washdown and heavy-duty environments.

Controlled Reset for Safety-Critical Systems
Limit switches with reset functionality, such as the FM2201-W3M2, are essential 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 preventing unintended operation.
The Pizzato FM series is widely trusted by automation engineers and OEM machine builders for its robust construction, precise actuation and compatibility 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.
