Why Choose the Pizzato FP710-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FP710-M2 is a heavy-duty position limit switch with long piston plunger, engineered for precise and reliable position detection in demanding industrial environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FP series, it delivers consistent performance for automation systems requiring durability, safety and long operational life.
Manufactured with a glass-reinforced technopolymer housing, the FP710-M2 offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and environmental exposure. Its long piston plunger actuator ensures accurate and repeatable detection of linear motion, making it ideal for machinery with extended travel requirements.
This model features a 1 normally open (NO) + 1 normally closed (NC) slow-action contact configuration with overlapped (make-before-break) contacts and positive opening operation, ensuring reliable switching in both control and safety circuits. Equipped with an M20 x 1.5 conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, it performs consistently in harsh industrial environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration.
