Why Choose the Pizzato FZ2138-W3M2 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ2138-W3M2 is a robust industrial position switch for swivelling levers with a manual reset device, 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 and manual reset mechanism 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. The integrated W3 manual reset mechanism provides controlled resetting following actuation, making the FZ2138-W3M2 particularly suitable for machinery where a deliberate reset action is required before normal operation can resume.

The FZ2138-W3M2 has a metal housing with two M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entries and a head designed for use with compatible swivelling lever actuators. Its modular actuator arrangement allows the appropriate lever to be selected for the movement and geometry of the machine, while the robust FZ construction supports dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Position Detection with Manual Reset

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ2138-W3M2 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 a machine control or safety system to identify limits, positions and mechanical states reliably.

The W3 manual reset mechanism adds a deliberate reset function to the FZ2138 configuration. This makes the switch useful for machinery where the switching state must not automatically return solely because the mechanical actuator has moved back to its normal position. Combined with the 3NC slow-action contact arrangement, the FZ2138-W3M2 provides a versatile solution for machine builders and industrial automation engineers.

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 requiring manual reset functionality.
