Why Choose the Pizzato FME169 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FME169 is a high-performance industrial position switch with electronic output, designed for precise detection and signalling in modern automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato FM series, it combines robust mechanical construction with PNP electronic switching for reliable and fast response in industrial control applications.

Built with a durable metal housing and engineered for demanding environments, the FME169 ensures long service life and consistent operation. Its adjustable glass-fibre rod lever actuator allows flexible mounting and accurate actuation across a wide range of machinery and moving components.

This model features a 1 NO + 1 NC electronic PNP output, making it suitable for PLC interfacing and automation systems requiring solid-state switching. With IP67 protection and a PG13.5 cable entry, the device is ideal for use in harsh industrial conditions where reliability is critical.

Key Advantages

  • Electronic PNP output for fast and reliable switching.
  • Robust metal housing for industrial durability.
  • Adjustable glass-fibre rod lever for flexible installation.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC configuration for versatile control logic.
  • IP67 protection rating for resistance to dust and water.
  • Ideal for integration with PLC and automation systems.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FM series electronic position switch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC electronic PNP outputs.
  • Adjustable glass-fibre rod lever actuator (approx. 6 mm).
  • Solid-state switching (no mechanical contacts).
  • Metal housing construction.
  • PG13.5 threaded conduit entry.
  • No reset function (continuous operation).
  • Designed for high reliability and long service life.

Electronic Position Detection for Advanced Automation

Electronic position switches such as the FME169 offer faster response times and longer operational life compared to traditional mechanical switches. With no mechanical contact wear, they are ideal for high-cycle applications and environments requiring reliable signal transmission.

The integrated PNP output makes this switch particularly suitable for direct connection to PLC inputs, improving system efficiency and reducing the need for additional interface components.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and PLC-controlled systems.
  • High-cycle machinery requiring electronic switching.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • Position monitoring and limit detection.
  • Modern machine building and OEM applications.
