Pizzato Position Switches
Reliable Position Sensing for Industrial Automation
In automated machinery, accurate position feedback is non‑negotiable. Pizzato’s position switches are engineered to deliver repeatable, durable, and safe detection of moving machine parts — even in harsh industrial environments. With metal‑body options, modular wiring, and a wide range of actuators, Pizzato offers one of the most complete position‑switch portfolios on the market.
Why Position Switches Matter
Position switches serve as the “mechanical eyes” of a machine — confirming presence, absence, or end‑of‑travel. Pizzato designs these devices for:
CNC and packaging equipment
Conveyor systems
Lift and elevator applications
Safety‑related motion control
Robotics and indexing tables
With mechanical life ratings reaching millions of cycles, IP67 protection, and precise actuation tolerances, these switches ensure reliable feedback that keeps machines running safely and efficiently.
Pizzato Position Switch Families:
Standard-Duty Series (FR, FX, FK)
Built for general automation environments, these switches feature technopolymer housings, threaded conduit entries, and multiple actuator styles. Ideal for light‑to‑medium duty applications.
Heavy-Duty Series (FD, FC, FL, FP)
Designed for demanding environments with metal housings, high mechanical endurance, and robust actuator options. Many models offer IP67 protection and long mechanical life — perfect for washdown, vibration, or outdoor installations.
Modular Pre‑Wired Series (NA, NF, NB)
These plug‑and‑play switches reduce installation time and wiring errors. Machine builders increasingly prefer these for fast commissioning and maintenance.
Key Features That Set Pizzato Apart
High mechanical durability — up to 20 million cycles depending on model
Wide actuator selection — roller levers, plungers, adjustable levers, and more
Positive opening contacts for safety‑critical applications
IP67 ingress protection for dust and water resistance
Metal or technopolymer housings depending on application needs
Where These Switches Excel
Pizzato position switches are commonly used for:
End‑of‑travel detection
Door and guard monitoring
Lift car and door position sensing
Motion control feedback
Safety interlocking
Their reliability and modularity make them a strong choice for OEMs, integrators, and maintenance teams looking for long‑term performance.
