FZ 1008 Pizzato Position switch with piston plunger
Pizzato FZ 1008 industrial position switch with a medium piston plunger, 2NO slow-action contacts, metal housing, two PG 13.5 cable entries and IP67 protection for machinery and automation applications.
Why Choose the Pizzato FZ 1008 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ 1008 is a robust industrial position switch with a piston plunger actuator designed for reliable mechanical position detection in machinery and industrial automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing with a medium piston plunger head for dependable operation in demanding industrial applications.
This position switch features a 2NO slow-action contact block, providing two normally open contacts for machine control and position signalling. The direct-acting piston plunger is particularly suitable for applications where a moving machine component approaches the switch in a controlled linear direction, providing precise and repeatable mechanical actuation.
The FZ 1008 incorporates a rugged metal housing with two PG 13.5 threaded cable entries and an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529. Its robust construction makes it well suited to machinery, production equipment, conveyors and other industrial automation applications requiring dependable mechanical position detection.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Industrial position switches such as the Pizzato FZ 1008 detect the physical position or movement of machine components through direct mechanical actuation. When a moving component presses the piston plunger, the switch changes the state of its electrical contacts, allowing the machine control system to detect position, travel or completion of a mechanical movement.
The piston plunger design is particularly useful where straightforward linear actuation is required. Combined with the FZ series metal enclosure and slow-action contacts, the FZ 1008 provides a practical position detection solution for machine builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Machine travel and end-position detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated production equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Mechanical movement monitoring.
- Factory automation and OEM machine building.
