Why Choose the Pizzato FR 552-R26 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR 552-R26 is a robust industrial position switch with a straight rotating roller lever, designed for reliable mechanical position and movement detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato FR position switch series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with a roller lever actuator for dependable electromechanical switching in demanding industrial applications.
The roller lever provides smooth mechanical operation when contacted by moving machine components, making the FR 552-R26 particularly suitable for repeated position sensing. Its rotating lever arrangement converts mechanical movement into a reliable switching signal, while the roller contact helps reduce sliding friction between the actuator and the moving component.
The FR 552-R26 incorporates 1NO+1NC snap-action contacts, a single PG 13.5 threaded cable entry and a rugged technopolymer enclosure. With IP67 and IP69K protection, the switch is well suited to conveyors, production equipment, material handling systems and other industrial machinery requiring dependable position feedback.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FR 552-R26 provide an electromechanical switching signal when a moving machine component operates the roller lever. This enables industrial control systems to detect predefined positions, monitor travel limits and initiate control functions at specific points during a machine operating cycle.
The roller lever configuration is particularly effective where a moving component repeatedly passes across the actuator. Its rolling contact supports smooth mechanical operation, while the 1NO+1NC snap-action contact block provides reliable electrical switching for PLC inputs, relays, contactors and other industrial control equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- End-of-travel and movement monitoring.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Mechanical handling and processing machinery.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
