FZ 2138 Pizzato Position switch for rotating levers
Pizzato FZ2138 is an IP67 metal position switch for swivelling levers with 3NC slow-action contacts, positive-opening operation and two PG 13.5 cable entries for industrial machinery and automation applications.
Why Choose the Pizzato FZ2138 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ2138 is a robust industrial position switch for swivelling levers designed for reliable position, limit and movement detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FZ series, it combines a durable metal housing with a three-contact slow-action switching arrangement for dependable machine monitoring and control.
This position switch features a 3NC slow-action contact configuration, providing three normally closed contacts for machine control and safety-related applications. Positive-opening operation provides direct mechanical opening of the safety contacts, making the FZ2138 suitable for safety functions when correctly combined with a suitable actuator and incorporated into an appropriately designed machine safety system.
With a rugged IP67-rated metal housing and two PG 13.5 threaded cable entries, the FZ2138 is designed for dependable service in demanding industrial environments. The switch is supplied with a head designed for swivelling levers, allowing a compatible Pizzato actuator to be selected according to the movement, geometry and operating requirements of the machine.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ2138 provide electromechanical detection of the movement or position of machine components. Movement of a compatible swivelling lever operates the internal slow-action contact block, allowing the machine control or safety system to identify limits, positions and mechanical states reliably.
The FZ2138 is particularly useful where the actuator needs to be selected separately to suit a specific machine design. Compatible swivelling levers can provide different roller materials, dimensions and operating geometries, while the robust FZ metal housing and IP67 protection make the switch suitable for demanding industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Machine guard and access monitoring systems.
- Conveyors and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Mechanical travel and end-position detection.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machine tools and processing equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
