Why Choose the Pizzato MF50 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MF50 is a robust and versatile snap-action microswitch with hinge lever actuator, designed for reliable position detection and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato MF series, it offers dependable switching performance and long service life in demanding mechanical environments.

This model features a hinge lever actuator, providing smooth and flexible actuation over a wider movement range. This makes it ideal for cam-driven applications, sliding mechanisms and systems where consistent contact and reduced wear are essential.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and fast snap-action switching, the MF50 ensures reliable electrical control in both AC and DC circuits. It is widely used for end-of-travel detection and automation control in industrial machinery.

Key Advantages

  • Compact snap-action microswitch for industrial automation.
  • Hinge lever actuator for flexible and extended actuation.
  • Smooth mechanical operation reduces wear and improves lifespan.
  • SPDT contact configuration for versatile circuit integration.
  • High mechanical durability (approx. 10 million cycles).
  • Suitable for both AC and DC switching applications.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MF series microswitch.
  • Snap-action switching mechanism.
  • Hinge lever actuator for cam or sliding actuation.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT changeover contact).
  • Faston terminals (6.3 × 0.8 mm) for secure electrical connection.
  • Compact technopolymer housing.
  • Designed for high-cycle industrial applications.

Flexible Hinge Lever Switching for Industrial Control

The Pizzato MF50 uses a snap-action mechanism to deliver rapid and consistent switching performance, ensuring clean electrical transitions even under frequent operation. Its hinge lever actuator allows smooth actuation over a broader range, improving reliability in cam-driven and sliding applications.

This design reduces mechanical stress on both the switch and the actuating components, helping maintain accurate switching points and long-term reliability in industrial automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • End-of-travel detection in industrial machinery.
  • Cam-driven automation systems.
  • Packaging and production equipment.
  • Conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Mechanical limit detection in moving assemblies.
  • OEM machine building and automation integration.
