FM 701 Pizzato Position switch with plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato FM701 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM701 is a heavy-duty position (limit) switch with short piston plunger actuator, designed for accurate and reliable detection of mechanical movement in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FM series, it delivers dependable performance in demanding environments where precision and durability are essential.

Constructed with a rugged metal housing and featuring a PG13.5 conduit entry, the FM701 is engineered to withstand dust, moisture and mechanical stress. Its short plunger actuator ensures precise and repeatable switching, making it ideal for end-of-travel detection and position monitoring in industrial machinery.

This model incorporates a 1 NO + 1 NC slow-action contact configuration with make-before-break switching, providing reliable signal continuity during actuation. Designed without automatic reset, it is well suited for controlled industrial processes and automation systems requiring stable and predictable switching behaviour.
