Why Choose the Pizzato FP1215 Limit Switch?

The Pizzato FP1215 is a compact and durable position and limit switch with stainless steel roller piston plunger, designed for precise mechanical detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the reliable Pizzato FP series, it delivers consistent performance and long service life in demanding applications.

This model features a stainless steel roller piston plunger actuator, enabling smooth actuation with reduced friction and wear, making it ideal for cam-driven or sliding mechanical systems. The glass-reinforced technopolymer housing ensures high resistance to vibration, impact and harsh industrial environments.

With a 2 NO snap-action contact configuration, the FP1215 provides fast and precise switching performance for control and signalling circuits. Its IP67 protection rating ensures dependable operation in environments exposed to dust and moisture.
