Why Choose the Pizzato FP1310 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FP1310 is a heavy-duty position limit switch with long piston plunger, designed for accurate and reliable position detection in demanding industrial applications. As part of the rugged Pizzato FP series, it is engineered to deliver consistent switching performance, durability and long service life in automation systems.

Constructed with a glass-reinforced technopolymer housing, the FP1310 offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and environmental exposure. Its long piston plunger actuator enables precise detection of linear movement, making it ideal for machinery with extended travel or positioning requirements.

This model features 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts with positive opening operation, making it suitable for safety circuits requiring fail-safe performance. Combined with an IP67 protection rating and PG13.5 conduit entry, it ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Key Advantages

  • Heavy-duty position switch for industrial automation.
  • Long piston plunger actuator for extended detection range.
  • 2 NC slow-action contacts for fail-safe circuit design.
  • Positive opening contacts for enhanced safety compliance.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for harsh environments.
  • IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FP series position switch.
  • Long piston plunger actuator for linear motion detection.
  • 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts.
  • Positive opening (direct opening action).
  • Glass-reinforced technopolymer housing.
  • PG13.5 conduit entry for cable connection.
  • IP67 protection rating (EN 60529).
  • Operating temperature approx. -25 to +80 °C.

Precision Position Detection with Safety Assurance

Position switches such as the FP1310 are essential for monitoring the movement and position of machine components. The long piston plunger enables accurate and repeatable detection of linear displacement, ensuring reliable feedback for control systems.

The inclusion of positive opening NC contacts makes this switch particularly suitable for safety-related applications, where guaranteed contact separation is required to ensure safe machine shutdown in the event of a fault.

Typical Applications

  • Machine tools and industrial machinery.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Safety interlock and monitoring circuits.
  • Packaging and production lines.
  • Position detection in mechanical assemblies.
  • OEM machinery and industrial equipment.
