Why Choose the Pizzato MKH11F40 Safety Microswitch?

The Pizzato MKH11F40 is a compact and durable industrial microswitch with rear roller lever actuator, designed for precise position detection and dependable switching in automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato MK series, it offers reliable performance and long operational life in demanding industrial environments.

This model features a back direct action roller lever (approximately 48–53 mm), allowing actuation from the rear with extended reach. This design is ideal for applications requiring early engagement, flexible installation or indirect actuation via mechanical linkages.

With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH11F40 ensures fast and reliable switching. Its technopolymer housing provides excellent durability, while optional terminal covers allow protection up to IP40, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable microswitch with rear roller lever actuator.
  • Extended lever (~48–53 mm) enables early and flexible actuation.
  • Back direct actuation allows installation versatility.
  • Smooth roller reduces mechanical wear and friction.
  • Snap-action switching ensures fast and consistent response.
  • Technopolymer housing for long service life.

Key Features

  • Pizzato MK series microswitch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC (changeover) contacts.
  • Rear roller lever actuator.
  • Back direct action switching mechanism.
  • Glass fibre reinforced technopolymer housing.
  • Vertical faston terminal connections.
  • Optional terminal covers for protection up to IP40.
  • High mechanical durability (up to 10 million operations).

Extended Rear Actuation for Flexible Design

The MKH11F40 is designed for applications where actuation occurs from behind or through indirect mechanical movement. Its longer roller lever enables earlier detection of moving components, improving system accuracy while reducing mechanical stress.

The snap-action switching mechanism ensures rapid electrical response with minimal contact bounce, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance in industrial automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • Position detection in industrial machinery.
  • Automation systems requiring rear or indirect actuation.
  • Conveyors and material handling equipment.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • End-of-travel detection.
  • General-purpose industrial switching.
