Why Choose the Pizzato FR651-R5 Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FR651-R5 is a heavy-duty industrial limit switch with roller lever, designed for accurate position detection and controlled switching in demanding automation systems. As part of the reliable Pizzato FR series, it offers stable performance where durability and consistent signal control are essential.
This model features a reinforced technopolymer housing and precision internal components, ensuring long operational life even under harsh industrial conditions. Its slow-action contact system (1 NO + 1 NC) provides controlled switching behaviour, making it ideal for applications requiring smooth and reliable signal transitions rather than rapid snap-action switching.
The FR651-R5 is equipped with a 40 mm rubber roller lever, providing a larger contact surface for smoother actuation and reduced mechanical wear. With PG13.5 conduit entry and high ingress protection, it is suitable for environments exposed to dust, moisture and vibration.
