About Pizzato Elettrica
Pizzato Elettrica Safety & Position Switch Solutions
Pizzato Elettrica, founded in 1984 in Marostica, Italy, has grown into a leading European manufacturer of industrial safety devices and position switches. With family-driven expertise built over 40 years, Pizzato delivers robust switching solutions across wood, metal, plastic, automotive, packaging, lifting, medical, and naval industrial sectors.
The company's portfolio spans position switches (FD, FC, FL, FK series), safety modules with emergency stop integration, foot switches, microswitches, and advanced control devices. All products meet ISO 13850 emergency stop standards and are built to handle demanding industrial machinery applications with technopolymer or metal housings built to withstand extreme conditions.
Pizzato's heavy-duty FD and FC series position switches feature compact metal housings with three threaded entries, designed for precise actuation in machine automation and production lines. The FL series offers additional flexibility, while the FK series combines technopolymer housing with single-threaded entry for space-constrained mounting.
Across 300+ employees across production sites in northern Italy, Pizzato maintains rigorous quality control and customer support. The brand ships to industrial distributors and OEM partners worldwide, with proven reliability in over 100 countries across machinery, automation, and safety applications.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Pizzato's FD and FC series position switches?
The FD series features a compact single-threaded metal housing, while the FC series offers a more robust metal construction with three threaded entries for flexible panel mounting and industrial environments requiring higher mechanical protection. Both meet ISO 13850 emergency stop standards, but FC series handles heavier shock and vibration better in aggressive machinery applications.
How do I select the right Pizzato switch for my conveyor or lifting machinery?
Selection depends on activation type (mechanical roller, solenoid, pneumatic push), electrical rating (AC/DC voltage), contact configuration (NO/NC/changeover), and environmental factors (washdown, high temperature, aggressive chemicals). Pizzato's FL and FD series are standard for horizontal actuation in conveyors; FK series is preferred for tight vertical spaces; FC series suits heavy lifting equipment with shock loads.
Are Pizzato safety modules compatible with machine guard interlocking systems?
Yes, Pizzato safety modules integrate emergency stop and interlock functions for machine guard safety circuits per ISO 13850. They feature dual-channel monitoring, fail-safe design, and reset functionality to meet Category 3/PLd requirements for modern machinery safety standards.
What voltage ratings are available for Pizzato position switches?
Pizzato offers AC ratings from 24V to 400V and DC ratings from 12V to 250V, with contact capacities ranging from 6A to 16A depending on series. Engineering data sheets specify coil ratings and switching capacity per model; the company supports custom voltage configuration for OEM integration projects.
How do I replace a worn Pizzato switch actuator without replacing the entire unit?
Most Pizzato FD, FC, and FL series allow field replacement of mechanical actuator heads (rollers, levers) without breaking seals or replacing housing. Contact Pizzato application engineering or your distributor with the model and serial number; replacement heads are standardized and inventory stocked globally for rapid turnaround.
