FZ 214-M2 Pizzato Position switch with mushroom head plunger
Pizzato FZ214-M2 is an IP67 metal position switch with a mushroom head plunger, 2 × (1NO+1NC) snap-action contacts and two M20 × 1.5 cable entries for industrial machinery and automation applications.
Why Choose the Pizzato FZ214-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FZ214-M2 is a robust industrial position switch with mushroom head plunger 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 large mushroom-style actuator and snap-action contacts for dependable machine control and signalling.
This position switch features 2 × (1NO+1NC) snap-action contacts, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts for flexible control and monitoring applications. The snap-action B2 contact block provides rapid contact switching once the actuator reaches its operating point, making the FZ214-M2 suitable for industrial applications requiring repeatable mechanical detection.
With a rugged IP67-rated metal housing and two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, the FZ214-M2 is designed for dependable service in demanding industrial environments. Its mushroom head plunger provides a broad actuation surface, while the metal FZ enclosure offers a durable solution for machine builders, control engineers and industrial automation installations.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ214-M2 provide electromechanical detection of the movement or position of machine components. Movement of the mushroom head plunger operates the internal snap-action contact block, allowing a machine control system to identify limits, positions and mechanical states reliably.
The mushroom head actuator provides a comparatively large contact surface for direct mechanical operation, making the FZ214-M2 useful where a moving component needs to depress the switch from a direct approach. Its dual 1NO+1NC contact arrangement provides multiple signalling possibilities, while the metal housing and IP67 protection support reliable operation in demanding industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Mechanical travel and end-position detection.
- Conveyors and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machine tools and processing equipment.
- Direct mechanical presence detection.
- OEM machinery and industrial control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FZ214-M2 used for?
The FZ214-M2 is used for reliable position, movement and limit detection in industrial machinery and automation equipment.
What contact configuration does the Pizzato FZ214-M2 have?
The switch has 2 × (1NO+1NC) snap-action contacts, providing a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts.
What type of actuator does the Pizzato FZ214-M2 use?
The FZ214-M2 uses a mushroom head plunger actuator, providing a broad surface for direct mechanical actuation by moving machine components.
What is the protection rating of the Pizzato FZ214-M2?
The switch has an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529, providing protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water when correctly installed.
Is the Pizzato FZ214-M2 a positive-opening safety switch?
No. The FZ214-M2 uses a snap-action B2 contact block and does not provide positive-opening operation, so it is intended for general position detection and machine control rather than safety functions requiring positive-opening contacts.
