FM 938-W3M2 Pizzato Position switch for rotating levers with reset device

Why Choose the Pizzato FM938-W3M2 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FM938-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 proven Pizzato FM series, it offers reliable switching performance, long mechanical life and consistent operation in demanding industrial environments.

Constructed with a robust metal housing and a standard M20 x 1.5 threaded conduit entry, the FM938-W3M2 is engineered for secure 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 subject to vibration or dynamic loads.

This model features a 2NC slow action contact configuration with positive opening operation, making it ideal for safety circuits requiring reliable disconnection. With an IP67 protection rating, it performs reliably in harsh environments exposed to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.
