FZ 212 Pizzato Position switch with threaded piston plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato FZ212 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ212 is a robust industrial position and limit switch with a threaded piston plunger, designed for dependable mechanical position, presence and end-of-travel detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal enclosure with direct linear plunger actuation for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

The FZ212 incorporates a 2 × (1NO + 1NC) snap-action contact configuration, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts. The B2 snap-action contact block provides rapid and repeatable electrical switching once the actuator reaches its operating point, making the switch suitable for machine sequencing, position monitoring and control applications.

The threaded piston plunger provides direct mechanical actuation by cams, stops and other moving machine components. The standard FZ212 features a metal enclosure with two PG13.5 threaded cable entries and provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529, making it suitable for industrial environments where dependable protection against dust and moisture ingress is required.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ212 provide an electromechanical method of detecting the physical position, presence or end of travel of moving machine components. When a cam, stop or other component depresses the threaded piston plunger, mechanical movement is transferred to the internal B2 contact block, producing rapid snap-action switching for use by the associated machine control system.

The combination of two normally open and two normally closed contacts provides flexibility for signalling and control functions from a single position switch. Combined with its robust metal enclosure, threaded plunger, PG13.5 cable entries and IP67 protection, the FZ212 provides a dependable solution for position monitoring across industrial machinery and automated equipment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
• Machine travel and end-position monitoring.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Mechanical sequencing and machine-control systems.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.
