FZ 215 Pizzato Position switch with roller piston plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato FZ215 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ215 is a robust industrial position switch with roller piston 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 roller plunger actuator and multiple snap-action contacts for dependable machine control and signalling.

This position switch features 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 switching when the roller piston plunger reaches its operating point, making the FZ215 well suited to general industrial position detection and machine control applications.

With a rugged IP67-rated metal housing and two PG 13.5 threaded conduit entries, the FZ215 is designed for dependable service in demanding industrial environments. Its roller piston plunger provides smooth mechanical actuation by moving machine components, while the compact housing makes the switch straightforward to integrate into machinery and automated equipment.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ215 provide electromechanical detection of the movement or position of machine components. As a moving component contacts the roller piston plunger, the actuator operates the internal snap-action contacts, allowing a machine control system to identify limits, positions and mechanical states reliably.

The roller piston plunger is particularly useful where a moving machine component passes across the actuator surface, as the roller helps reduce sliding friction and wear during repeated operation. Combined with the multiple-contact B2 block, metal housing and IP67 protection, the FZ215 provides a practical solution for demanding industrial automation and machine-building applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
• Mechanical travel and end-position detection.
• Conveyors and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Automated manufacturing equipment.
• Machine tools and processing equipment.
• Mechanical presence and movement detection.
• OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
