Why Choose the Pizzato FZ 1008-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ 1008-M2 is a robust industrial position switch with a piston plunger actuator designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery and industrial automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing with a piston plunger head for dependable operation in demanding industrial applications.
This position switch features a 2NO slow-action contact block, providing two normally open contacts for machine control and position signalling. The direct-acting piston plunger is particularly suitable for applications where a moving machine component approaches the switch in a controlled linear direction, providing precise and repeatable mechanical actuation.
The FZ 1008-M2 variant incorporates M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, distinguishing it from versions using alternative conduit threads. Combined with the rugged metal enclosure and IP67 protection rating of the FZ series, this makes the switch well suited to industrial machinery, production equipment and automation installations requiring dependable mechanical position detection.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Industrial position switches such as the Pizzato FZ 1008-M2 detect the physical position or movement of machine components through direct mechanical actuation. When a moving component presses the piston plunger, the switch changes the state of its electrical contacts, allowing the machine control system to detect position, travel or completion of a mechanical movement.
The piston plunger design is particularly useful where straightforward linear actuation is required. Combined with the FZ series metal enclosure, slow-action contacts and M20 cable entry arrangement, the FZ 1008-M2 provides a practical position detection solution for machine builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance applications.
Typical Applications
Industrial machinery position detection.
Machine travel and end-position detection.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Automated production equipment.
Packaging and processing machinery.
Mechanical movement monitoring.
Factory automation and OEM machine building.
