Why Choose the Pizzato MKH12F30 Safety Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKH12F30 is a compact and high-performance industrial microswitch with rear lever actuator, designed for precise position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato MK series, it delivers excellent durability and consistent operation in demanding industrial environments.
This variant features a back direct action lever with roller, allowing actuation from rear movement or indirect mechanical contact. This design provides flexibility in machine layouts, especially where standard front actuation is not practical. The roller reduces friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation over repeated cycles.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration, the MKH12F30 ensures fast and dependable switching. Its technopolymer housing is reinforced for impact resistance, while optional terminal covers enable sealing up to IP65, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
