Why Choose the Pizzato FC321 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FC321 is a heavy-duty position / limit switch with coil spring actuator and wire tip, designed for flexible and reliable motion detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the durable Pizzato FC series, it is engineered for consistent performance in demanding environments where adaptability and long service life are essential.
Constructed with a robust metal housing and IP67 protection, the FC321 offers excellent resistance to dust, moisture and mechanical stress. Its spring rod actuator with flexible wire tip (cat’s whisker) allows multi-directional actuation, making it ideal for applications where alignment is variable or contact points are not fixed.
The switch features a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, delivering fast and reliable switching for both control and signalling circuits. With a PG11 or PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, it integrates easily into industrial wiring systems and control panels.
