Why Choose the Pizzato FD1376 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1376 is a heavy-duty position switch for rope actuation, designed for reliable signalling and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the rugged Pizzato FD series, it provides dependable performance in demanding environments where durability and consistent switching are critical.
This model features a 2 normally closed (2NC) slow-action contact configuration, making it suitable for applications requiring stable, fail-safe signalling. The rope-actuated design allows activation from multiple points along machinery, offering flexibility for large systems and conveyor installations.
Constructed with a robust metal housing, PG13.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1376 is engineered to withstand dust, moisture and harsh industrial conditions, ensuring reliable long-term operation.

Rope Actuation for Flexible Machine Control
The FD1376 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, allowing activation from multiple points along a machine or conveyor system. This improves accessibility and enables effective control across large installations where direct switch access is limited.
Its 2NC configuration ensures circuit continuity under normal conditions, making it suitable for fail-safe control systems where reliable interruption is required upon activation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial signalling and control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Distributed actuation across large machines.
- OEM automation systems.
- Machine monitoring and interlocking circuits.
