Why Choose the Pizzato MKH11F31 Safety Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKH11F31 is a compact and versatile industrial microswitch with rear short lever and roller actuator, designed for precise position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it delivers dependable performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
This variant features a back direct action short lever with standard roller, enabling actuation from the rear of the switch. This makes it ideal for applications where traditional front actuation is not possible or where mechanical linkage is required for indirect triggering.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH11F31 ensures fast and reliable switching. Its reinforced technopolymer housing provides durability, while optional terminal covers allow protection up to IP40 or higher depending on installation.
