Why Choose the Pizzato FM221 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FM221 is a robust electromechanical position switch designed for precise detection of movement and end-of-travel conditions in industrial automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato FM series, it delivers reliable switching performance and long mechanical life in demanding applications.
This model features a coil spring actuator with cat’s whisker tip, allowing flexible and sensitive actuation even where alignment is not perfectly fixed. Its metal housing construction provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and harsh industrial environments.
With a 2 x (1NO + 1NC) snap-action contact configuration and a PG13.5 conduit entry, the FM221 offers versatile control options for both signalling and safety circuits. The integrated external gasket and IP67 protection rating ensure reliable operation in environments exposed to dust and moisture.
