FM 915-W3 Pizzato Position switch with roller piston plunger and reset device

Why Choose the Pizzato FM915-W3 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM915-W3 is a heavy-duty industrial position switch designed for reliable motion detection and safe switching in demanding automation and machine safety systems. As part of the durable Pizzato FM series, it features a rugged metal housing built for long-term performance in harsh industrial environments.

This model is equipped with a roller piston plunger actuator with a steel roller, ensuring smooth and repeatable actuation under continuous mechanical stress. Its slow-action switching mechanism provides stable and controlled contact operation, making it ideal for safety circuits and machine control applications.

The FM915-W3 includes a simultaneous reset device, requiring deliberate reactivation after actuation to enhance machine safety. With a 2 NC contact configuration, positive opening capability, and a PG13.5 conduit entry, it is specifically designed for safety-critical systems. Its IP67 protection rating ensures reliable operation in environments exposed to dust and moisture.

Controlled Reset for Maximum Safety

The Pizzato FM915-W3 is designed for applications where fail-safe operation and controlled restart are critical. The integrated reset mechanism ensures that the switch must be deliberately reactivated after actuation, reducing the risk of unintended machine restart in safety-critical environments.

Its dual NC contact configuration ensures reliable interruption of safety circuits, while the roller plunger mechanism delivers consistent performance under repeated mechanical stress.

Typical Applications

• Machine guarding and safety interlocking systems.
• Safety circuits requiring dual NC contacts.
• Industrial machinery position monitoring.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Heavy-duty automation environments.
