Why Choose the Pizzato FM552-R24 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FM552-R24 is a robust industrial position switch with a straight roller lever designed for reliable mechanical position and limit detection on machinery and automation equipment. As part of the Pizzato FM series, it combines a durable metal housing with a rotating lever head for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The FM552-R24 incorporates a 1NO + 1NC snap-action contact block (B5), providing complementary normally open and normally closed contacts for machine control, signalling and position-monitoring circuits. The snap-action mechanism provides a rapid change of contact state when the operating point is reached, while positive opening of the NC contact supports dependable safety-related position monitoring.
The R24 actuator option equips the straight lever with a durable 20 mm diameter stainless-steel roller. The FM552-R24 also features one PG 13.5 threaded conduit entry, an industrial metal enclosure and IP67 protection according to EN 60529, making it suitable for production machinery, conveyors, material handling equipment and OEM automation systems.

Reliable Position Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FM552-R24 convert mechanical movement into electrical switching signals. When a moving machine component engages the stainless-steel roller lever, the actuator operates the internal contacts, allowing the machine control system to detect position, travel or completion of a mechanical movement.
The FM552-R24 combines a 20 mm stainless-steel roller with complementary 1NO + 1NC snap-action contacts and positive opening operation. Its robust FM-series metal enclosure and IP67 protection make it a practical solution for machine builders requiring durable and repeatable mechanical position detection.
