£18.45
The Pizzato FC 309-M2 is a robust rope-operated position switch for signalling in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it combines a durable metal housing with a practical rope-operated head for remote status detection and mechanical signalling.
Its B3 snap-action contact block provides one normally open and one normally closed contact, enabling two complementary switching signals from a single device. The snap-action mechanism provides decisive contact changeover when the operating rope actuates the switch.
With an IP67 protection rating, powder-coated metal enclosure and operating temperature range of −25 to +80 °C, the FC 309-M2 is suitable for demanding industrial environments. A standard M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry supports secure cable installation.
Rope-operated position switches allow a switching signal to be initiated from a point along an appropriately configured operating rope. This makes them useful for monitoring and signalling on extended machinery where direct access to a conventional plunger or lever switch may be impractical.
The FC 309-M2 combines snap-action switching with a resilient metal enclosure and complementary NO and NC contacts. Its high mechanical endurance and protected construction support reliable operation in industrial automation, conveying and material-handling equipment.
