MF 17 Pizzato Microswitch with transversal roller plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato MF17 Microswitch?

The Pizzato MF17 is a robust and precise snap-action microswitch designed for industrial automation and control applications. As part of the reliable Pizzato MF series, this model features a transversal roller plunger actuator, making it ideal for applications involving lateral or cam-driven movement.

Engineered with a durable technopolymer housing and high-quality internal contacts, the MF17 ensures consistent switching performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments. The transversal roller reduces friction and wear, improving reliability in continuous operation.

With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and snap-action mechanism, the MF17 delivers fast and repeatable switching for both AC and DC circuits, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial control tasks.

Reliable Roller-Based Switching for Industrial Control

The Pizzato MF17 uses a snap-action mechanism to provide rapid and consistent switching performance, ensuring reliable electrical contact transitions even in high-frequency applications.

Its transversal roller plunger actuator is specifically designed for side-mounted actuation, making it ideal for cam systems or sliding components where direct vertical actuation is not suitable. This reduces friction and improves operational lifespan.

Typical Applications

• Cam-driven limit detection in industrial machinery.
• Position sensing in automation systems.
• Packaging and production equipment.
• Conveyors and material handling systems.
• Mechanical limit detection in lateral movement systems.
• OEM machine building and integration.
