FZ 215-R28 Pizzato Position switch with roller piston plunger

Why Choose the Pizzato FZ215-R28 Position Switch?

The Pizzato FZ215-R28 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 stainless steel roller 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 actuator reaches its operating point, making the FZ215-R28 well suited to general industrial position detection and machine control applications.

With a rugged IP67-rated metal housing and two PG 13.5 threaded cable entries, the FZ215-R28 is designed for dependable service in demanding industrial environments. Its stainless steel roller piston plunger provides smooth mechanical actuation and enhanced durability for applications involving repeated contact with moving machine components.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Position switches such as the Pizzato FZ215-R28 provide electromechanical detection of the movement or position of machine components. As a moving component contacts the stainless steel 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 design is particularly useful where moving machine components pass across the actuator surface, as the roller helps reduce sliding friction during repeated operation. Combined with the B2 snap-action contact block, IP67 protection and robust metal enclosure, the FZ215-R28 provides a practical solution for machine builders and industrial automation engineers requiring durable mechanical position detection.

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.
