Why Choose the Pizzato FP 231-M2R24 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FP 231-M2R24 is a robust and versatile position switch with rotary roller lever designed for reliable position detection, end-of-travel monitoring and machine control in industrial automation applications. As part of the established Pizzato FP position switch series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with a compact electromechanical switching mechanism for dependable use on machinery and automated equipment.
This position switch features a rotary roller lever actuator that can be operated by cams, carriages and other moving machine components. Its B2 snap-action contact block provides two independent changeover contact sets, giving a total configuration of 2 NO + 2 NC for flexible signalling, monitoring and control functions.
The FP 231-M2R24 incorporates a technopolymer housing, a single M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry and an IP67 protection rating. Designed for operation across an ambient temperature range of -25 to +80 °C, it provides a durable solution for industrial environments where reliable mechanical position sensing and resistance to dust and water ingress are required.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FP 231-M2R24 convert mechanical movement into electrical switching signals, allowing a machine control system to determine when a component has reached a predetermined position or travel limit. When a cam, carriage or other moving mechanism engages the roller lever, the internal snap-action contact block changes state and provides rapid, repeatable signals to the control circuit.
The Pizzato FP series is designed for industrial automation applications requiring dependable mechanical operation, compact construction and environmental protection. The combination of a rotary roller lever, four-contact snap-action arrangement, IP67 technopolymer enclosure and wide operating temperature range makes the FP 231-M2R24 suitable for position monitoring across production machinery, conveyors and automated systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- End-of-travel and limit monitoring.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Machine tools and automated equipment.
- Cam, carriage and moving mechanism detection.
