VF LE55 Pizzato Adjustable lever with technopolymer roller, 20 mm diameter

Why Choose the Pizzato VF LE55 Position Switch Actuator?

The Pizzato VF LE55 is a robust adjustable rotating lever actuator with a technopolymer roller designed for use with compatible Pizzato position switches in industrial detection and automation applications. As part of the Pizzato VF LE series of separate actuators, it provides reliable mechanical actuation for switches used to detect the position or movement of machinery components.

The actuator features a 20 mm diameter adjustable technopolymer roller mounted on a rotating lever. The adjustable lever allows the actuator length and roller position to be configured to suit different machine layouts, providing flexible and repeatable mechanical contact with moving machine components and cams.

The VF LE55 is specifically designed as a separate actuator for compatible Pizzato position switches. It is suitable for compatible switches from the FK, FM, FR, FX and FZ series, providing machine builders and automation engineers with a flexible solution for industrial position detection.

Reliable Mechanical Position Detection

Separate actuators such as the Pizzato VF LE55 allow compatible position switches to be configured for different mechanical sensing requirements. The 20 mm technopolymer roller provides a practical contact surface for machine components passing across the actuator, helping convert mechanical movement into dependable switch operation.

The adjustable rotating lever allows the actuator length and roller position to be adapted to the mechanical arrangement of the machine. This makes the VF LE55 particularly useful where the actuating point needs to be positioned precisely during installation to achieve reliable and repeatable switch operation.

For safety applications, the VF LE55 has a specific adjustment requirement. Pizzato documentation states that this actuator can be used in safety applications only when adjusted to its maximum length as specified by the manufacturer. Where an adjustable lever is required for safety applications, Pizzato recommends the VF LE56 adjustable safety lever.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
