Why Choose the Pizzato FD905-M2 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD905-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial position limit switch designed for precise and reliable detection of mechanical movement in demanding automation and safety applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it features an angled one-way roller lever actuator, enabling accurate directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.
Built with a rugged metal housing and equipped with a M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, this version allows secure installation using standard industrial cable glands. It incorporates a slow-action contact system with 2 normally closed (NC) contacts, making it ideal for fail-safe safety circuits where redundancy and reliability are essential.
With an IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +80 °C, the FD905-M2 ensures dependable performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration.
