The Pizzato FZ 1201-M2 is a robust industrial position switch with a short 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 direct-acting plunger head for dependable operation in demanding industrial applications.
This position switch features a 2NO snap-action contact block, providing two normally open contacts with rapid electrical switching for machine control and position signalling. The short piston plunger actuator is particularly suited to applications where a moving machine component approaches the switch directly, providing precise and repeatable mechanical actuation.
The FZ 1201-M2 features two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, an IP67 protection rating and a standard operating temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C. With a minimum operating force of 8 N and mechanical durability of up to 20 million operating cycles, it is well suited to industrial machinery, conveyors and automated production equipment.
Industrial position switches such as the Pizzato FZ 1201-M2 detect the physical position or movement of machine components through direct mechanical actuation. When a moving component presses the short piston plunger, the switch rapidly changes the state of its electrical contacts, allowing the machine control system to detect position, travel or completion of a mechanical movement.
The snap-action mechanism provides a rapid contact transition once the switching point is reached, helping deliver consistent electrical switching even when plunger movement is relatively slow. Combined with its robust metal housing, IP67 protection and M20 cable entries, the FZ 1201-M2 provides a dependable position detection solution for industrial machinery and automation systems.
