FR 225-M3 Pizzato Position switch with coil spring

Why Choose the Pizzato FR225-M3 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FR225-M3 is a compact industrial position switch with full coil spring actuator designed for reliable multidirectional position and movement detection in machinery, conveyors and automated equipment. As part of the versatile Pizzato FR series, it combines a durable technopolymer enclosure with a flexible spring actuator for dependable operation in industrial automation applications.

The FR225-M3 incorporates a B2 contact block with 2 × (1NO + 1NC) snap-action contacts, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts. The snap-action mechanism provides rapid and repeatable electrical switching when the spring actuator is deflected, making the device suitable for machine sequencing, object detection and general position-monitoring circuits.

The flexible full coil spring actuator can respond to movement from different approach directions, making the FR225-M3 particularly useful where the path of the moving object is not suited to a conventional rigid plunger or roller lever. The FR series technopolymer enclosure provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529, supporting reliable installation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Electromechanical position switches such as the Pizzato FR225-M3 detect the presence, movement or position of machine components through direct mechanical actuation. When an object deflects the coil spring actuator, the B2 snap-action mechanism rapidly changes the state of the two normally open and two normally closed contacts, providing a repeatable electrical signal to the machine control system.

Unlike rigid plungers and fixed roller levers, a coil spring actuator can accommodate contact from different directions and tolerate variations in the path of the moving component. This makes the FR225-M3 particularly practical for object detection, conveyor applications, machine sequencing and general industrial automation where flexible mechanical engagement is advantageous.
