Why Choose the Pizzato FM2001-W3M2 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FM2001-W3M2 is a heavy-duty limit/position switch with reset mechanism, engineered for precise position detection and enhanced safety in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FM series, it is designed to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments where controlled operation is essential.
This model features a short piston plunger actuator combined with a W3 simultaneous reset device, ensuring that the switch must be reset before normal operation resumes. Its metal housing construction provides excellent mechanical strength and long service life.
The FM2001-W3M2 includes a 1 NO + 2 NC slow-action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it ideal for safety circuits and machine protection systems. The M20 x 1.5 conduit entry allows straightforward wiring in industrial installations, while high ingress protection supports use in harsh and washdown environments.

Controlled Reset for Safety-Critical Systems
Limit switches with reset functionality, such as the FM2001-W3M2, are widely used in applications where machinery must not automatically restart after actuation. The integrated reset mechanism ensures operators must intentionally reset the system, improving safety and preventing unintended operation.
The Pizzato FM series is trusted by automation engineers and machine builders due to its robust design, precise actuation and compliance with industrial safety requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring controlled restart.
- Safety interlocking systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- End-of-travel detection with reset requirement.
- OEM machine building applications.
