Why Choose the Pizzato FD705 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD705 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch designed for precise and reliable detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation environments. As part of the rugged Pizzato FD series, it features an angled one-way roller lever actuator, ensuring accurate directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.
Constructed with a durable metal housing, the FD705 is built for long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions. It incorporates a slow-action contact system with 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contact, offering stable and dependable switching for control and safety applications.
With a PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +80 °C, the FD705 ensures consistent performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration.
