FK 356-E0M1 Pizzato Position switch with adjustable roller lever

Why Choose the Pizzato FK356-E0M1 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FK356-E0M1 is a compact industrial position switch with an adjustable rotary roller lever, designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery, automation and industrial control systems. As part of the Pizzato FK series, it combines a durable technopolymer enclosure with a versatile adjustable actuator for dependable operation in demanding machine environments.

The FK356-E0M1 incorporates a 1NO + 1NC B3 snap-action contact block, providing rapid and repeatable switching when the actuator is operated. This contact arrangement allows both normally open and normally closed signals to be obtained from a single mechanical position switch, making it useful for machine sequencing, travel detection and general industrial control applications.

The switch features an adjustable toothed rotary lever with a 20 mm diameter technopolymer roller, allowing the actuator position to be adapted to cams, conveyors and moving machine components. Its compact technopolymer enclosure has a threaded M16 × 1.5 cable entry and provides IP67 and IP69K environmental protection, making it suitable for demanding industrial installations.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Electromechanical position switches such as the Pizzato FK356-E0M1 detect the physical position or movement of machine components by mechanically operating an internal contact mechanism. When a cam, carriage or other moving component engages the roller, the snap-action mechanism rapidly changes the state of the 1NO + 1NC contacts and provides a repeatable signal to the machine control system.

The compact FK series is particularly suited to machinery where installation space is limited but dependable mechanical detection is still required. The adjustable roller lever of the FK356-E0M1 allows its operating position to be configured for different machine geometries, making the switch a practical solution for travel limitation, sequence control and general automation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• End-of-travel and limit detection.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Automated manufacturing equipment.
• Cam and mechanical movement detection.
• Machine sequencing and process control.
• OEM automation and machine-building applications.
