Why Choose the Pizzato FX502-K71 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FX502-K71 is a compact and robust industrial position switch with one-way roller actuator, designed for accurate directional position detection in automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato FX series, it offers reliable switching performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a one-way roller lever actuator, ensuring actuation occurs only in a single direction. This makes it ideal for conveyors and machinery where reverse movement must not trigger switching. Its durable technopolymer housing provides excellent resistance to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.
The FX502-K71 is equipped with 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) snap-action contact with positive opening functionality, making it suitable for both control and safety circuits. This version also includes an M12 4-pole connector, enabling fast and reliable plug-in wiring for modern automation systems.
Key Advantages
- Reliable position switch with one-way roller actuator.
- Directional actuation prevents false triggering from reverse motion.
- Integrated M12 connector for quick and secure installation.
- 1NO + 1NC contact configuration for flexible control and safety circuits.
- Positive opening contacts for enhanced safety reliability.
