The Pizzato FX2012-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial limit / position switch engineered for precise detection of mechanical movement in automation and safety systems. As part of the proven Pizzato FX series, it is designed to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a threaded piston plunger actuator, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable actuation for applications requiring precise position sensing. Its robust technopolymer housing offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and environmental exposure, making it suitable for long-term industrial use.
With a 1 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contact configuration, the FX2012-M2 is ideal for safety-critical circuits requiring redundancy and fail-safe operation. The integrated positive opening function ensures reliable disconnection even in fault conditions.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Limit switches such as the Pizzato FX2012-M2 are essential for detecting mechanical limits, movement and end-of-travel positions within industrial equipment. The threaded piston plunger provides accurate actuation, while the slow-action contacts ensure controlled switching behaviour in both control and safety circuits.
The dual NC contact configuration enhances safety by enabling redundancy in critical systems, while the positive opening mechanism guarantees circuit interruption under fault conditions. Combined with IP67/IP69K protection, the switch is well suited to demanding industrial environments.
Typical Applications
Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
Industrial automation and control panels.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Packaging and production machinery.
End-of-travel detection in mechanical systems.
OEM machine building and automation integration.
