Why Choose the Pizzato MKH11F42 Safety Microswitch?

The Pizzato MKH11F42 is a compact and highly reliable industrial microswitch with rear roller lever actuator, engineered for precise position detection and dependable switching in automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato MK series, it delivers consistent performance and durability in demanding industrial environments.

This model features a back direct action roller lever with standard roller, enabling actuation from the rear of the switch. This configuration is ideal for applications requiring flexible installation, indirect mechanical actuation or operation within confined machine layouts.

With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH11F42 ensures fast and reliable switching. Its glass fibre reinforced technopolymer housing provides excellent resistance to impact and wear, while optional terminal covers allow protection up to IP40 or higher depending on configuration.
