Why Choose the Pizzato MS17 Micro Limit Switch?

The Pizzato MS17 is a high-performance micro limit switch with transversal roller plunger actuator, engineered for precise position detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato MS series, it delivers reliable snap-action switching combined with smooth mechanical operation, making it ideal for dynamic machine movements.

The transversal roller plunger design allows actuation from multiple directions, reducing mechanical stress and wear while improving flexibility in installation. Built with a durable technopolymer housing and precision internal contacts, the MS17 ensures long service life and dependable performance even in demanding industrial environments.

With its compact footprint and versatile connection options, the Pizzato MS17 microswitch integrates easily into machinery, conveyors and control systems, providing accurate feedback for both control and safety applications.

Key Advantages

  • Transversal roller plunger actuator allows multi-directional actuation.
  • Reduced friction and wear for extended mechanical life.
  • Snap-action switching ensures fast and precise response.
  • Compact design for easy integration into machinery.
  • Reliable operation in industrial automation environments.
  • Flexible installation for complex motion systems.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MS series microswitch.
  • Transversal roller plunger actuator.
  • SPDT contact configuration (1 NO + 1 NC).
  • Snap-action changeover contacts.
  • Available with solder, screw or faston terminals.
  • Compact cuboid housing in technopolymer.
  • Designed for repetitive and high-cycle applications.

Flexible Multi-Directional Actuation

The Pizzato MS17 is specifically designed with a transversal roller plunger, enabling actuation from different directions. This makes it ideal for applications where motion paths are variable or where space constraints require flexible switch positioning.

Its snap-action mechanism ensures rapid switching with minimal contact wear, while the roller design reduces mechanical stress during repeated operations. This combination enhances reliability and extends service life in demanding industrial environments.

Typical Applications

  • Position detection in industrial machinery.
  • Conveyor systems and material handling equipment.
  • Automation and control panels.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Machine safety and interlocking systems.
  • OEM machinery and custom-built equipment.
