Why Choose the Pizzato MKH12D59 Safety Microswitch?

The Pizzato MKH12D59 is a compact and high-reliability industrial microswitch with short roller lever actuator, designed for precise position detection and dependable switching in automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it is engineered to deliver consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

This model features a roller lever actuator (approximately 17.8 mm), providing smooth, low-friction actuation within a compact mechanical range. This makes it ideal for applications requiring accurate switching where space and movement are limited.

With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH12D59 ensures fast and reliable switching. Its reinforced technopolymer housing offers durability, while optional terminal covers enable protection up to IP65, making it suitable for more demanding industrial conditions.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable microswitch with compact roller lever actuator.
  • Short lever (~17.8 mm) enables precise and controlled actuation.
  • Smooth roller reduces mechanical wear and friction.
  • Snap-action switching ensures fast and consistent response.
  • Technopolymer housing for long service life.
  • Optional sealing up to IP65 for harsh environments.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MK series microswitch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (changeover) contacts.
  • Roller lever (~17.8 mm).
  • Direct action switching mechanism.
  • Glass fibre reinforced technopolymer housing.
  • Vertical faston terminal connections.
  • Optional terminal covers for protection up to IP65.
  • High mechanical durability for repeated operation.

Compact Precision for Industrial Applications

The MKH12D59 is designed for applications requiring precise switching within compact mechanical spaces. Its shorter roller lever enables accurate triggering while maintaining consistent switching behaviour, making it ideal for modern machinery with tight tolerances.

The snap-action mechanism ensures rapid electrical response with minimal contact bounce, improving reliability and reducing maintenance requirements in industrial automation systems.
