The Pizzato MKV22D13 is a rugged industrial microswitch with sealed plunger and roller actuator, engineered for precise position detection and reliable switching in demanding automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it offers enhanced durability, high switching accuracy, and long mechanical life for industrial applications.
This model features a sealed plunger combined with a standard roller actuator, delivering smooth mechanical engagement while protecting internal components from dust and contaminants. The direct action switching mechanism ensures fast, repeatable actuation, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent performance and reduced mechanical wear.
The MKV22D13 includes a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration with silver contacts for reliable conductivity. It supports switching loads up to 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -25 °C to +85 °C. With suitable terminal covers, it can achieve IP65 protection, ensuring dependable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Key Advantages
Sealed plunger design for enhanced resistance to dust and contaminants.
Integrated roller actuator for smooth and low-wear operation.
Reliable direct action switching with high repeatability.
Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.
1 NO + 1 NC contacts for flexible control and signalling.
High mechanical durability of approximately 10 million cycles.
Key Features
Pizzato MK series microswitch.
Sealed plunger with standard roller.
1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT) contact configuration.
Silver contacts for reliable switching.
Direct action switching mechanism.
Screw terminals with self-lifting plate.
Protection up to IP65 with compatible terminal covers.
Sealed Roller Plunger for Reliable Operation
The combination of a sealed plunger and roller actuator allows the MKV22D13 to provide smoother mechanical interaction compared to standard plunger switches. This reduces wear on both the actuator and machine components, improving system longevity and reliability.
Its sealed construction enhances resistance to dust and contaminants, while the MK series double-contact design improves electrical reliability and reduces failure probability compared to conventional microswitches.
