Why Choose the Pizzato FD1405 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD1405 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it features a one-way roller lever actuator, ensuring accurate and directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.
Built with a rugged metal housing, the FD1405 is engineered for durability and long service life in harsh industrial conditions. Its slow-action contact system with 2 normally closed (NC) contacts provides reliable switching performance, making it particularly suitable for safety circuits where fail-safe operation is essential.
With a PG13.5 conduit entry, IP67 protection rating and wide operating temperature range, the FD1405 delivers consistent performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress, making it ideal for industrial automation and machinery safety systems.
