Why Choose the Pizzato FDE158-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FDE158-M2 is a heavy-duty position switch for rotating lever applications, engineered for precise and reliable detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato FD series, it combines rugged construction with modern electronic switching technology for improved performance and system integration.
This model features a 1 normally open (1NO) and 1 normally closed (1NC) electronic PNP output configuration, enabling direct interfacing with PLCs and control systems. Electronic outputs reduce mechanical wear and improve switching reliability compared to traditional contact-based switches.
With a durable metal housing, M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FDE158-M2 is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments including dust, moisture and mechanical stress while maintaining consistent operation.
Key Advantages
- Reliable position detection for rotating lever mechanisms.
- Electronic PNP output (1NO + 1NC) for PLC integration.
- Reduced mechanical wear compared to electromechanical contacts.
- M20 cable entry for standard industrial wiring.
- Durable metal housing for demanding environments.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
Key Features
- Pizzato FD series position switch.
- Electronic contact block (PNP output, E1 configuration).
- 1NO + 1NC electronic outputs.
- Compact head for rotating levers.
- Metal housing with single conduit entry.
- M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry (no gland supplied).
- Supplied without actuator for flexible configuration.
- Designed for PLC and automation system integration.
Modern Electronic Switching for Automation
The FDE158-M2 is designed for applications where electronic outputs are preferred over mechanical contacts. Its PNP output enables direct connection to PLC inputs, improving signal stability and reducing maintenance requirements in modern automation systems.
This makes it particularly suitable for industrial environments where high reliability, fast response and long service life are essential.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and PLC-controlled systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Position monitoring of rotating components.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine control and signalling systems.
- OEM machinery and smart automation solutions.
