Why Choose the Pizzato FC3310 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FC3310 is a robust industrial position switch with a long piston plunger, designed for dependable position detection in machinery, automation and control systems. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it combines a durable metal housing with slow-action contacts and positive opening of the normally closed contact.
This position switch incorporates a 1NO+1NC slow-action contact block, providing one normally open and one normally closed contact for control, monitoring and interlocking circuits. Its long piston plunger enables direct actuation by cams, stops, slides and other moving machine components.
The FC3310 features an IP67-rated powder-coated metal housing with one PG 11 threaded conduit entry. With an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C and mechanical endurance of up to 20 million operating cycles, it is engineered for demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Heavy-duty position switch for industrial machinery.
- Long piston plunger supports direct mechanical actuation.
- 1NO+1NC slow-action contacts provide flexible control and monitoring.
- Positive opening of the normally closed contact supports safety-related applications when correctly integrated.
- IP67 enclosure protection when installed with a cable gland of equal or higher protection.
- Mechanical endurance of up to 20 million operating cycles.
Key Features
- Pizzato FC series position switch.
- Long piston-plunger actuator.
- 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact.
- Slow-action contact operation.
- Positive opening in accordance with IEC 60947-5-1.
- Powder-coated metal housing with one conduit entry.
- PG 11 threaded conduit entry.
- Maximum actuation frequency of 3,600 operating cycles per hour.
- Suitable for mounting in any position.
Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches convert the mechanical movement of an actuator into an electrical switching signal. The slow-action mechanism in the Pizzato FC3310 changes the contact state according to plunger travel, supporting controlled and repeatable position monitoring within automated machinery.
The positively opening normally closed contact is mechanically forced open when the actuator reaches the specified positive-opening travel. When the switch is correctly selected, installed and integrated, this feature supports machine-guard monitoring and other safety-related control functions.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and travel detection.
- Guard and access-point monitoring.
- Conveyors and material-handling systems.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Cams, slides and moving machine components.
