FM 2238-W3 Pizzato Position switch for rotating levers with reset device

Why Choose the Pizzato FM2238-W3 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM2238-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 reliable Pizzato FM series, it delivers consistent switching performance and long operational life in demanding industrial environments.

Built with a durable metal housing and a standard PG13.5 conduit entry, the FM2238-W3 is designed for straightforward installation in machinery and control panels. The integrated W3 reset device ensures synchronised actuation between the actuator movement and contact block, improving reliability in applications with vibration or dynamic loads.

This model features a 2NO + 1NC slow action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it suitable for both control and safety circuits. With an IP67 protection rating, it is well suited for harsh industrial environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.
