FR 720 Pizzato Position switch, coil spring with plastic point

Why Choose the Pizzato FR720 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FR720 is a reliable and robust industrial position limit switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in automation systems. As part of the well-established Pizzato FR series, it features a coil spring actuator with plastic tip, enabling flexible actuation even in applications with variable alignment.

Constructed with a durable technopolymer housing and reinforced with zinc-plated steel components, the FR720 is engineered for long-term operation in demanding industrial environments. Its slow-action contact mechanism provides stable and controlled switching, making it ideal for applications where gradual electrical transition is required.

With a 1NO + 1NC contact configuration, PG13.5 conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, this switch delivers dependable performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration. It is commonly used in machinery, conveyors and industrial automation systems.
