FZ 1001 Pizzato Position switch with plunger
Pizzato FZ 1001 is an industrial position switch with a short plunger actuator, 2NO slow-action contacts, metal housing, two PG13.5 threaded conduit entries and IP67 protection for reliable machinery position detection.
Why Choose the Pizzato FZ 1001 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ 1001 is a robust industrial position switch with short plunger actuator designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing, two cable entries and slow-action contacts for dependable operation in standard industrial applications.
The FZ 1001 uses a short plunger actuator to detect the movement, presence or end position of machine components. Its B10 contact block provides 2NO slow-action contacts, giving predictable switching behaviour when the plunger is mechanically operated by a moving component or mechanism.
With a rugged metal housing, two PG13.5 threaded conduit entries and IP67 protection according to EN 60529, the FZ 1001 is well suited to industrial machinery where resistance to dust and water ingress is important. Its straightforward electromechanical design makes it suitable for machine builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance applications.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Industrial position switches such as the Pizzato FZ 1001 convert mechanical movement into an electrical switching signal for use by machine control and automation systems. When a moving machine component presses the short plunger, the internal slow-action contacts change state, allowing the control system to detect a defined position, presence or movement.
The FZ series is designed for standard industrial applications and offers a wide range of actuator and contact configurations. The FZ 1001 combines a straightforward plunger mechanism with a strong metal enclosure and two conduit entries, making it a practical solution for new machinery, replacement installations and industrial maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Machine tools and automated production equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Mechanical travel and end-position monitoring.
- Component presence and movement detection.
