Why Choose the Pizzato FZ212-M2 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ212-M2 is a robust industrial position and limit switch with a threaded piston plunger, designed for dependable mechanical position, presence and end-of-travel detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal enclosure with direct linear plunger actuation for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

The FZ212-M2 incorporates a 2 × (1NO + 1NC) snap-action contact configuration, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts. Its contact block 2 uses Pizzato's R-type snap-action switching mechanism, delivering rapid and repeatable electrical switching once the actuator reaches its operating point.

The threaded piston plunger provides direct mechanical actuation by cams, stops and other moving machine components. The M2 configuration features a metal enclosure with two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67 protection, providing a durable solution for metric industrial wiring installations and demanding machinery environments.

Key Advantages

  • Industrial position switch with threaded piston plunger.
  • 2 × (1NO + 1NC) snap-action contacts provide four switching contacts.
  • Rapid snap-action switching provides repeatable electrical operation.
  • Direct plunger actuation is ideal for cams, stops and linear machine movements.
  • Robust metal FZ-series enclosure for industrial machinery.
  • Two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries for metric control wiring.
  • IP67 environmental protection for demanding industrial installations.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FZ series position switch.
  • Threaded piston plunger actuator.
  • 2 normally open (2NO) contacts.
  • 2 normally closed (2NC) contacts.
  • 2 × (1NO + 1NC) contact arrangement.
  • Contact block 2.
  • R-type snap-action switching.
  • Durable metal enclosure.
  • Two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries.
  • IP67 protection according to EN 60529.
  • Designed for industrial position, presence and end-of-travel detection.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ212-M2 provide an electromechanical method of detecting the physical position, presence or end of travel of moving machine components. When a cam, stop or other component depresses the threaded piston plunger, mechanical movement is transferred to the internal contact block, producing rapid snap-action switching for use by the associated machine control system.

The combination of two normally open and two normally closed contacts provides flexibility for signalling, sequencing and control functions from a single position switch. Combined with its robust metal enclosure, threaded plunger, M20 metric cable entries and IP67 protection, the FZ212-M2 provides a dependable solution for position monitoring across industrial machinery and automated equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
  • Machine travel and end-position monitoring.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Mechanical sequencing and machine-control systems.
  • Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.
