Why Choose the Pizzato FZ215 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ215 is a robust industrial position switch with roller piston plunger designed for reliable position, limit and movement detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing with a roller plunger actuator and multiple snap-action contacts for dependable machine control and signalling.

This position switch features a 2 × (1NO+1NC) snap-action contact configuration, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts. The B2 snap-action contact block provides rapid and repeatable switching when the roller piston plunger reaches its operating point, making the FZ215 well suited to general industrial position detection and machine control applications.

With a rugged IP67-rated metal housing and two PG 13.5 threaded conduit entries, the FZ215 is designed for dependable service in demanding industrial environments. Its roller piston plunger provides smooth mechanical actuation by moving machine components, while the compact housing makes the switch straightforward to integrate into machinery and automated equipment.

Key Advantages

  • Industrial position switch with roller piston plunger.
  • 2 × (1NO+1NC) snap-action contacts for versatile machine control and monitoring.
  • Rapid snap-action switching provides repeatable position detection.
  • Roller plunger reduces sliding friction during mechanical actuation.
  • Robust metal housing for demanding industrial environments.
  • IP67 protection against dust and temporary water immersion.
  • Two PG 13.5 threaded conduit entries for electrical installation.
  • Suitable for position, travel and end-limit detection on industrial machinery.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FZ series position switch.
  • Roller piston plunger actuator.
  • 2 normally open and 2 normally closed contacts.
  • B2 snap-action contact block.
  • IP67 enclosure protection according to EN 60529.
  • Durable metal switch housing.
  • Two threaded PG 13.5 conduit entries.
  • 50 mm housing width.
  • 31.5 mm housing depth.
  • Operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ215 provide electromechanical detection of the movement or position of machine components. As a moving component contacts the roller piston plunger, the actuator operates the internal snap-action contacts, allowing a machine control system to identify limits, positions and mechanical states reliably.

The roller piston plunger is particularly useful where a moving machine component passes across the actuator surface, as the roller helps reduce sliding friction and wear during repeated operation. Combined with the multiple-contact B2 block, metal housing and IP67 protection, the FZ215 provides a practical solution for demanding industrial automation and machine-building applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery position detection.
  • Mechanical travel and end-position detection.
  • Conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Automated manufacturing equipment.
  • Machine tools and processing equipment.
  • Mechanical presence and movement detection.
  • OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
