MK F12D42 Pizzato Microswitch with roller lever
£5.13
Why Choose the Pizzato MK F12D42 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MK F12D42 is a compact and reliable industrial microswitch with roller lever actuator, designed for accurate mechanical position detection and switching in machinery, automation equipment and control systems. As part of the Pizzato Elettrica MK series, it provides dependable electromechanical operation in applications where compact dimensions and precise actuation are important.
The roller lever actuator allows moving machine components, cams and mechanisms to operate the microswitch smoothly while reducing direct mechanical impact on the switch plunger. This makes the MK F12D42 particularly useful for detecting component positions, travel limits and mechanical movement within automated machinery.
Its compact format makes the Pizzato MK F12D42 suitable for installation where available mounting space is limited. Combining Pizzato Elettrica industrial switching technology with a practical roller lever actuator, it provides a versatile solution for OEM machine builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance applications.

Reliable Switching for Industrial Machinery
Microswitches such as the Pizzato MK F12D42 provide electrical feedback when mechanical movement operates the actuator. As a moving component engages the roller lever, the microswitch changes the state of its internal electrical contacts, allowing a machine control circuit to detect position, movement or end of travel.
The roller lever configuration is particularly useful where the actuating component moves across the switch rather than directly towards it. The rotating roller reduces sliding friction at the point of contact and provides smooth mechanical engagement, helping the switch operate consistently in repetitive machine applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- End-of-travel and limit detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Automated manufacturing systems.
- Machine mechanisms and moving assemblies.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
