FZ 2120 Pizzato Position switch, coil spring with plastic point

Why Choose the Pizzato FZ2120 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ2120 is a robust industrial position and limit switch with a coil spring actuator and plastic tip, designed for dependable position, presence and movement detection in machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal enclosure with a flexible spring actuator that can accommodate multidirectional contact with moving machine components.

The FZ2120 incorporates a 3NC slow-action contact configuration using Pizzato's 21 contact unit. All three contacts are normally closed, providing three switching channels for machine monitoring and control. The slow-action mechanism changes contact state progressively with actuator movement, providing defined electromechanical switching for industrial applications.

The coil spring with plastic point is particularly useful where the direction or alignment of the moving component can vary, allowing the actuator to deflect when contacted rather than requiring precise linear engagement. The standard FZ2120 uses PG13.5 threaded cable entries, while its FZ-series construction provides a dependable solution for industrial machinery, conveyors and automated production equipment.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ2120 provide an electromechanical method of detecting moving machine components. When a component contacts the plastic-tipped coil spring, the flexible actuator deflects and transfers movement to the internal switching mechanism, changing the state of the three normally closed contacts and providing electrical signals to the associated machine control system.

The flexible spring actuator makes the FZ2120 particularly useful where the actuating component may approach from different directions or where a rigid plunger would require more precise alignment. Combined with its 3NC slow-action contact arrangement and robust FZ-series construction, the switch provides dependable mechanical detection for industrial automation and machinery applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production machinery.
