Why Choose the Pizzato FD905 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FD905 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 rugged Pizzato FD series, it features an angled one-way roller lever actuator, enabling accurate directional actuation for controlled machine positioning.
Constructed with a durable metal housing, the FD905 is engineered for long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments. 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 a PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +80 °C, the FD905 ensures dependable performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration.
