The Pizzato FC310-T6 is a robust industrial position switch with a long piston plunger, designed to detect the position or movement of machine components in demanding automation and control applications. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it combines a powder-coated metal housing with reliable snap-action switching.
This position switch features a 1NO-1NC snap-action contact block, providing one normally open and one normally closed contact for flexible machine-control and signalling circuits. Its long piston plunger enables direct mechanical actuation by moving guards, slides, cams and other machine elements.
The FC310-T6 incorporates the manufacturer’s low-temperature T6 option, extending the permitted ambient operating range to -40 °C to +80 °C. Its IP67 enclosure protection, PG 11 conduit entry and durable metal construction make it suitable for industrial installations exposed to dust, moisture and challenging temperatures.
Position switches detect the movement or arrival of mechanical parts by converting physical actuator travel into an electrical switching signal. The snap-action mechanism in the Pizzato FC310-T6 changes contact state rapidly once its operating point is reached, supporting dependable signalling in automated machinery.
The long piston plunger is suited to direct linear actuation by cams, stops and moving machine components. Combined with its metal housing, IP67 protection and extended low-temperature capability, the FC310-T6 provides reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
