Why Choose the Pizzato MF17 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MF17 is a robust and precise snap-action microswitch designed for industrial automation and control applications. As part of the reliable Pizzato MF series, this model features a transversal roller plunger actuator, making it ideal for applications involving lateral or cam-driven movement.
Engineered with a durable technopolymer housing and high-quality internal contacts, the MF17 ensures consistent switching performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments. The transversal roller reduces friction and wear, improving reliability in continuous operation.
With a SPDT (1 NO + 1 NC) contact configuration and snap-action mechanism, the MF17 delivers fast and repeatable switching for both AC and DC circuits, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial control tasks.
Key Advantages
- Compact snap-action microswitch for industrial automation.
- Transversal roller plunger actuator for lateral or cam-driven actuation.
- Reduced mechanical wear due to rolling contact.
- SPDT contact configuration for flexible circuit integration.
- High mechanical durability for long service life.
- Suitable for both AC and DC switching applications.
Key Features
- Pizzato MF series microswitch.
- Snap-action switching mechanism.
- Transversal roller plunger actuator.
- 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT changeover contact).
- Faston terminals (6.3 × 0.8 mm) for secure electrical connection.
- Compact housing for space-saving installation.
- High cycle life (approx. 10 million operations).
Reliable Roller-Based Switching for Industrial Control
The Pizzato MF17 uses a snap-action mechanism to provide rapid and consistent switching performance, ensuring reliable electrical contact transitions even in high-frequency applications.
Its transversal roller plunger actuator is specifically designed for side-mounted actuation, making it ideal for cam systems or sliding components where direct vertical actuation is not suitable. This reduces friction and improves operational lifespan.
Typical Applications
- Cam-driven limit detection in industrial machinery.
- Position sensing in automation systems.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Mechanical limit detection in lateral movement systems.
- OEM machine building and integration.
