Why Choose the Pizzato FM1038-W3M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FM1038-W3M2 is a heavy-duty industrial position switch with integrated reset device, designed for precise and reliable detection of mechanical movement in automation and safety systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FM series, it is engineered for high durability, consistent performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Featuring a rugged metal housing and a standard M20 x 1.5 threaded conduit entry, the FM1038-W3M2 is built for easy installation in machinery and control panels. The integrated W3 reset device ensures synchronised actuation between the mechanical movement and the contact block, improving reliability in applications with vibration or dynamic motion.
This model incorporates a 2NO slow action contact configuration with a reset mechanism, providing stable and controlled switching behaviour. Designed for use with rotating lever actuators, it offers flexibility for a wide range of industrial automation and machine safety applications.

Reliable Position Detection with Reset Function
Position switches with reset devices like the FM1038-W3M2 provide enhanced control in industrial automation systems by ensuring precise synchronisation between actuator movement and electrical switching. This improves system reliability, especially in applications involving vibration or rapid mechanical movement.
The integrated reset mechanism eliminates the need for snap action contacts, as the switching behaviour is controlled by the reset device itself. This allows smoother operation and greater flexibility in machine design.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Applications requiring synchronised switching and reset control.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production lines.
- Machines operating under vibration or dynamic loads.
- OEM machine building and control panels.
