Why Choose the Pizzato FL508-M2T6 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FL508-M2T6 is a robust industrial position switch with piston plunger actuator, designed for reliable position, travel and safety monitoring on machinery and automated equipment. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FL series, it combines a metal enclosure, positive-opening contacts and direct mechanical actuation for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The FL508-M2T6 incorporates a 1NO + 1NC B5 snap-action contact block with positive opening of the normally closed contact. This provides fast and repeatable switching when the plunger is actuated while making the switch suitable for appropriately designed machine safety and position-monitoring circuits.
The switch features a medium piston plunger, three threaded M20 × 1.5 cable entries and a rugged metal enclosure rated to IP67. With a mechanical endurance of approximately 20 million operating cycles and an operating temperature range of -40 to +80 °C, the FL508-M2T6 is designed for long-term service on industrial machinery.

Reliable Position Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Electromechanical position switches such as the Pizzato FL508-M2T6 detect the physical position or travel of machinery through direct mechanical actuation. When a moving machine component, cam or mechanical stop depresses the piston plunger, the B5 snap-action mechanism rapidly changes the state of the 1NO + 1NC contacts and provides a dependable electrical signal to the machine control or safety system.
The positive-opening mechanism ensures that the normally closed contact is mechanically forced open during correct actuator travel rather than relying solely on spring action. Combined with its metal FL series enclosure and high mechanical endurance, this makes the FL508-M2T6 suitable for industrial position monitoring and appropriately designed machine safety circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position monitoring.
- Machine safety and interlocking circuits.
- End-of-travel and limit detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Cam and mechanical stop detection.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
