Why Choose the Pizzato FX502 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FX502 is a compact and reliable industrial position switch with one-way roller actuator, designed for accurate directional position detection in automation systems. As part of the trusted Pizzato FX series, it provides dependable switching performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a one-way roller lever actuator, ensuring actuation occurs in a single direction only. This makes it ideal for conveyors and machinery where reverse movement must not trigger switching. Its rugged technopolymer housing delivers excellent resistance to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.
The FX502 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. It also features dual PG13.5 conduit entries and is designed for continuous operation without a reset mechanism.
