FM 2038-W3 Pizzato Position switch for rotating levers with reset device

Why Choose the Pizzato FM2038-W3 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM2038-W3 is a heavy-duty industrial position switch with integrated reset device, designed for precise detection of mechanical movement in automation and safety systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FM series, it offers reliable switching performance and long operational life in demanding industrial environments.

Constructed with a durable metal housing and featuring a standard PG13.5 conduit entry, the FM2038-W3 is built for easy installation in machinery and control panels. The integrated W3 reset device ensures synchronised actuation between the mechanical movement and the contact block, improving performance in applications with vibration or dynamic motion.

This model includes a 1NO + 2NC slow action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it ideal for safety-related circuits requiring reliable disconnection. With an IP67 protection rating, it is suitable for harsh environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.
