Heavy duty Position switches

Pizzato Elettrica position switches are daily installed in every type of industrial machinery all over the world for applications in the sector of wood, metal, plastic, automotive, packaging, lifting, medicinal, naval, etc.

In order to be used in a wide variety of sectors and countries, Pizzato Elettrica position switches are designed to be assembled in a lot of configurations, thanks to a wide range of body shapes, dozens of contact blocks, hundreds of actuators and materials, different actuating forces and several fixing methods.

Pizzato Elettrica can offer one of the widest product range of position switches in the world. Moreover, the use of high quality materials, high reliability technologies (e.g. twin bridge contact blocks) as well as the IP67 protection degree make this range of position switches one of the most technologically evolved.

Protection degree IP67: These devices are designed to be used in the toughest environmental conditions and they pass the IP67 immersion test acc. to EN 60529.

They can therefore be used in all environments where maximum protection degree of the housing is required.

Extended temperature range: These devices are also available in a special version suitable for an ambient operating temperature range from -40ºC up to +80°C.

They can therefore be used for applications in cold stores, sterilisers, and other equipment operated in very low-temperature environments. The special materials used to produce these versions retain their characteristics even under these conditions, thereby expanding the installation possibilities.

Reversible levers: For switches with swivelling lever, the lever can be fastened on straight or reverse side maintaining the positive coupling.

In this way two different working planes of the lever are possible.

Adjustable levers: For switches with swivelling lever, the lever can be adjusted in 10° steps over the entire 360° range. The positive movement transmission is always guaranteed thanks to the particular geometrical coupling between the lever and the revolving shaft as prescribed for safety applications by the German standard BG-GS-ET-15.

Increased or reduced actuating force: For actuators with swivelling lever, versions with increased or reduced actuating force are available upon request, in order to have a switch perfectly tailored for the application. For further information contact our technical department.
