Why Choose the Pizzato FRE138 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FRE138 is a compact and highly reliable electronic position switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in industrial automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato FR series, it combines robust mechanical construction with modern electronic switching technology for improved performance and durability.

Built with a rugged technopolymer housing, the FRE138 offers excellent resistance to dust, moisture and mechanical stress. Its design includes a single threaded PG13.5 conduit entry, ensuring secure cable routing and straightforward installation in control panels and machinery.

This model features an electronic PNP output with 1NO + 1NC configuration, delivering fast, wear-free switching without mechanical contact degradation. It is supplied without actuator, allowing flexible integration with compatible rotating lever actuators for customised applications.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable electronic position detection for industrial automation.
  • PNP electronic output eliminates mechanical wear.
  • 1NO + 1NC functionality for flexible control integration.
  • IP67 / IP69K protection rating for harsh environments.
  • Compact technopolymer housing for durability and lightweight installation.
  • Modular actuator compatibility for versatile machine integration.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FR series electronic position switch.
  • Electronic PNP output (no mechanical contact wear).
  • 1NO + 1NC output configuration.
  • Designed for rotating lever actuators.
  • PG13.5 threaded conduit entry.
  • Technopolymer enclosure with industrial-grade durability.
  • High ingress protection (IP67 / IP69K).
  • Operating temperature range: approx. -25 to +80 °C.

Advanced Electronic Switching for Modern Automation

Unlike traditional mechanical limit switches, the Pizzato FRE138 uses electronic switching technology, providing faster response times, reduced maintenance and extended service life. This makes it ideal for high-cycle applications where mechanical contacts would otherwise wear out over time.

The FR series is widely used by automation engineers and OEM machine builders due to its modular flexibility and robust construction. With a wide range of compatible actuators available, the FRE138 can be adapted to suit conveyors, packaging machinery and industrial production systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and machine control systems.
  • High-cycle applications requiring contactless switching.
  • Conveyor and material handling equipment.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Position detection in automated systems.
  • OEM equipment and custom machine builds.
