Why Choose the Pizzato FD234 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD234 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch with coiled spring rod actuator, designed for reliable and versatile position detection in demanding automation environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it provides consistent switching performance and long mechanical life in high-cycle industrial applications.
This model features a coiled spring lever with plastic tip, allowing tolerance to misalignment and variable actuation points. This makes it ideal for machinery where precise alignment cannot be guaranteed. Its metal housing with PG13.5 conduit entry ensures strong resistance to vibration, dust, and moisture, delivering dependable operation in harsh industrial conditions.
Equipped with a 2 × (1 NO + 1 NC) snap-action contact configuration, the FD234 provides dual-channel switching for control and safety circuits. This arrangement enables simultaneous signalling and redundancy, making it suitable for industrial automation systems requiring higher reliability.
