Why Choose the Pizzato FD 1051 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD 1051 is a robust position switch with roller lever actuator, designed for precise mechanical detection in industrial automation and machine control systems. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FD series, it delivers reliable switching performance and long service life in demanding environments.
This model features a metal housing with PG 13.5 threaded conduit entry and a 2NO slow action contact block (B10). It is equipped with a technopolymer roller lever actuator (20 mm diameter), enabling smooth actuation and accurate detection of moving machine parts.
With an IP67 protection rating, the FD 1051 is engineered for use in environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration, making it suitable for continuous industrial operation.
Key Advantages
- Roller lever actuator for smooth and precise mechanical actuation.
- 2 normally open contacts for flexible control configurations.
- Slow action switching for stable and reliable operation.
- IP67 protection rating for resistance to dust and water ingress.
- Metal housing for durability in industrial environments.
- Suitable for continuous-duty automation applications.
Key Features
- Pizzato FD series heavy application position switch.
- FD 1051 model with roller lever actuator.
- Metal housing with industrial-grade construction.
- PG 13.5 cable entry.
- 2 normally open (2NO) contacts.
- Slow action switching mechanism (B10).
- Technopolymer roller lever (approx. 20 mm diameter).
- Compact head for rotating levers.
- IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529.
Accurate Detection with Roller Lever Actuation
The FD 1051 uses a roller lever mechanism to convert mechanical movement into electrical signals. This design reduces wear and friction, ensuring smoother operation and improved longevity when interacting with moving parts such as cams or machine components.
The slow action contact system provides stable switching behaviour, making it ideal for applications where consistent signal output is required rather than rapid switching cycles.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Mechanical movement monitoring in industrial processes.
- General-purpose industrial switching tasks.
