Why Choose the Pizzato FD758-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD758-M2 is a heavy-duty position switch for rotating lever applications, engineered for precise and reliable mechanical detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the rugged Pizzato FD series, it is designed to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments where durability, accuracy and long service life are essential.
This model features a 1 normally open (1NO) and 1 normally closed (1NC) slow-action contact configuration with overlapped (make-before-break) switching, ensuring smooth signal continuity during transitions. The integrated positive opening NC contact guarantees reliable disconnection in safety-related applications, supporting compliance with industrial safety standards.
With a robust metal housing, M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD758-M2 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments including dust, moisture and mechanical stress, ensuring dependable long-term operation.
