FM 2038-W3M2 Pizzato Position switch for rotating levers with reset device

Why Choose the Pizzato FM2038-W3M2 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM2038-W3M2 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 provides reliable switching performance, high mechanical durability and long operational life in demanding environments.

Built with a rugged metal housing and a standard M20 x 1.5 threaded conduit entry, the FM2038-W3M2 is engineered for easy installation in control panels and industrial machinery. The integrated W3 reset device ensures synchronised actuation between the actuator and contact block, improving performance in applications subject to vibration or dynamic movement.

This model features a 1NO + 2NC slow action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it ideal for safety circuits requiring reliable disconnection. With a high IP67 protection rating, it is well suited to harsh environments involving dust, moisture and mechanical stress.

Reliable Position Detection with Reset Function

Position switches with reset devices like the FM2038-W3M2 provide enhanced control by ensuring synchronised mechanical and electrical switching. This improves reliability in automation systems, particularly in applications involving vibration, shock or high-speed movement.

The reset device eliminates the need for snap action mechanisms, as switching is controlled directly by the reset module. This results in smoother operation, increased durability and improved consistency across industrial processes.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery and automation systems.
• Safety circuits requiring multiple NC contacts.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production lines.
• Applications with vibration or dynamic mechanical loads.
• OEM machine building and control panels.
