£19.77
The Pizzato FD1018 is a robust industrial position / limit switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation environments. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FD Series, it features a rolling ball piston plunger actuator, ensuring smooth, low-friction operation and long mechanical life in high-cycle applications.
Built with a durable metal housing, the FD1018 is engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions including vibration, dust, and moisture. Its slow-action contact mechanism provides stable and controlled switching, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent signal transitions.
With a 2 NO contact configuration, IP67 protection rating, and a PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, this switch is ideal for industrial machinery, conveyors, and automation systems where durability and reliability are essential.
The rolling ball piston design of the FD1018 reduces friction during actuation, improving longevity and ensuring consistent performance over millions of cycles. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where mechanical wear must be minimised.
Position switches such as the FD1018 are essential in industrial automation systems, providing accurate feedback on machine movement and positioning while maintaining reliability in challenging environments.
