Why Choose the Pizzato FX2012 Limit Switch?

The Pizzato FX2012 is a high-performance industrial limit / position switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement and safe operation in automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FX series, it is engineered to deliver consistent and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

This model features a threaded piston plunger actuator, ensuring accurate and repeatable actuation for applications requiring precise position sensing. Its rugged technopolymer housing provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and environmental exposure, making it suitable for long-term industrial use.

With a 1 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contact configuration, the FX2012 is particularly suited for safety-critical applications where redundancy and fail-safe operation are essential.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable limit switch for industrial automation and safety applications.
  • Threaded piston plunger ensures precise and repeatable actuation.
  • 1 NO + 2 NC contacts for enhanced safety and control flexibility.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for harsh industrial environments.
  • Slow-action switching ensures stable and controlled operation.
  • High mechanical durability for extended service life.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FX series position switch.
  • Threaded piston plunger actuator for accurate detection.
  • 1 NO + 2 NC contact configuration.
  • Slow-action switching with positive opening functionality.
  • Technopolymer housing with high impact resistance.
  • Two conduit entries (PG13.5) for flexible wiring.
  • Silver contacts for reliable electrical conductivity.
  • Designed for industrial automation and machine safety systems.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Limit switches such as the Pizzato FX2012 are essential for detecting mechanical limits, movement and end-of-travel positions within industrial equipment. The threaded piston plunger ensures precise actuation, while the slow-action contacts provide controlled switching performance in both control and safety circuits.

The inclusion of two NC contacts enhances safety by enabling redundancy in critical circuits, while the positive opening mechanism ensures reliable disconnection even under fault conditions. This makes the FX2012 well suited to demanding safety applications in industrial automation.

Typical Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
  • Industrial automation and control panels.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • End-of-travel detection in mechanical systems.
  • OEM machine building and automation integration.
