All microswitches with positive opening are suitable for safety applications.

MK series microswitches by Pizzato guarantee the highest quality levels and boast an enhanced and state-of-the-art trigger mechanism.

Thanks to the double and redundant execution, the electrical contact of the microswitch has been designed with a technology providing increased reliability, and is able to carry out switching operations with positive opening.

All microswitches with positive opening are suitable for safety applications. These devices are provided with a rigid connection between the plunger and the NC contacts, which are forcibly actuated by an internal sturdy safety lever.

Contrarily to other microswitches normally used in the industry, Pizzato’s MK series microswitches feature a distinct contact structure: mobile contact with single interruption and double contacts, rather than just mobile contact with single interruption. This design reduces contact resistance by half compared to the conventional structure and significantly lowers the probability of failure.

Inside the housing of the microswitch it is possible to insert gaskets to protect the mechanism against fine dusts or liquids. Conductor fixing terminals are more practical, allowing for cables of different diameters to be fixed or allowing the choice of different bends for the Faston contacts.

The actuating roller of the microswitches can be rotated in 90° steps. The lateral fixing allows to disconnect the actuator from the switch body even when the actuator is already fixed to the support bracket.

The clamping screw plates are provided with a particular “roofing tile” structure and are loosely coupled to the clamping screw. The design causes connection wires of different diameter to be pulled towards the screw when tightening the screw, preventing the wires from escaping towards the outside.

MK series includes versions with extended temperature range available upon request. The special materials used to produce these versions retain their characteristics even in environments with temperature ranges from -40 °C to +85 °C, thus expanding the installation possibilities.
