Why Choose the Pizzato FD1405-M2 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD1405-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch engineered for precise and reliable detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation and safety applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it features a one-way roller lever actuator, allowing accurate directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.
This model is constructed with a rugged metal housing and includes a M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, ensuring secure and standardised installation using industrial cable glands. Its slow-action contact system with 2 normally closed (NC) contacts provides stable and dependable switching, making it particularly suitable for fail-safe safety circuits.
With an IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +80 °C, the FD1405-M2 delivers reliable performance in harsh environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress, making it ideal for industrial automation systems.
