Why Choose the Pizzato MKV11D17 Microswitch?
The Pizzato MKV11D17 is a robust industrial microswitch with transversal roller plunger, engineered for precise position detection and reliable switching in automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato MK series, it delivers consistent performance, long mechanical life, and dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a transversal (side-mounted) roller plunger actuator, allowing smooth lateral actuation and reduced mechanical wear compared to vertical plunger designs. The direct action switching mechanism ensures fast and repeatable switching, making it ideal for applications requiring high precision and reliability.
With a 1 NO + 1 NC (SPDT) contact configuration and positive opening contacts, the MKV11D17 is suitable for both control and safety circuits. It supports switching loads up to 5 A at 250 V AC and 4 A at 24 V DC, with a mechanical durability of approximately 10 million cycles.
Key Advantages
- Transversal roller plunger enables side-actuated switching.
- Smooth roller movement reduces mechanical wear and stress.
- Direct action switching ensures high repeatability.
- Positive opening contacts suitable for safety circuits.
- Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.

Transversal Roller for Side Actuation
The transversal roller plunger design allows actuation from the side rather than vertically, making the MKV11D17 ideal for applications where space constraints or machine geometry require lateral switching. This design also reduces mechanical stress and improves the lifespan of both the switch and interacting components.
Combined with Pizzato’s MK series direct action contact system, the switch delivers stable electrical performance and reliable switching even in high-cycle industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Position detection and limit control.
- Conveyor systems and material handling.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- OEM machinery and control systems.
- Applications requiring lateral actuation.
