Why Choose the Pizzato FK3433 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FK3433 is a compact and reliable industrial position switch with adjustable square rod lever designed to detect machine movement, component position and end-of-travel conditions. As part of the established Pizzato FK series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with a versatile adjustable actuator for industrial automation and machinery.
This position switch incorporates a 2NC slow-action B34 contact block, providing controlled contact operation for machine monitoring and safety-related control circuits. Its positive-opening normally closed contacts are mechanically separated when the actuator is correctly operated, helping provide dependable position feedback in properly designed machinery.
The FK3433 features a regular rotating-lever head with an adjustable 3 × 3 mm square rod actuator. The rod position can be adjusted to suit the required operating point, while the threaded PG 11 conduit entry supports straightforward cable installation. Its IP67 and IP69K protection ratings provide resistance to dust, water ingress and high-pressure cleaning.

Reliable Position Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Mechanical position switches such as the Pizzato FK3433 detect the physical movement or position of machine components. When a moving assembly, carriage, door or product operates the square rod lever, the internal contacts change state and transmit an electrical signal to the machine control system.
The adjustable rod actuator is useful where a conventional roller lever cannot easily reach the required operating point. Combined with its slow-action 2NC contacts, positive opening and sealed housing, the FK3433 provides flexible and dependable position monitoring across a wide range of automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Conveyor and material-handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Product presence and movement detection.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Production and manufacturing machinery.
