Why Choose the Pizzato FX1516 Position Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FX1516 is a high-reliability industrial position limit switch designed for accurate detection of moving machine components in automation systems. As part of the durable Pizzato FX series, it delivers consistent switching performance and long operational life in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a roller piston plunger actuator with stainless steel piston and 20 mm roller, ensuring smooth engagement and repeatable actuation even under high-cycle operation. Its technopolymer housing combined with zinc-plated steel components provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and industrial wear.
With a 2 normally open (2NO) slow-action contact configuration and shifted contacts, the FX1516 is ideal for control circuits requiring reliable switching performance and improved electrical separation between contacts. The absence of a reset mechanism allows uninterrupted operation in continuous detection applications.
