The FM1476 is designed without an integrated reset function and includes a single PG13.5 conduit entry, making it suitable for signalling applications where external control logic is used. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Advantages

  • Reliable rope-operated position switch for long-distance activation.
  • Durable metal housing for harsh industrial environments.
  • Slow-action contacts for stable and controlled switching.
  • Shifted contact design improves reliability in safety circuits.
  • Suitable for signalling and monitoring applications.
  • Designed for continuous industrial operation.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FM series position switch.
  • Rope actuation mechanism for remote triggering.
  • 2 NC slow-action contacts (shifted contacts).
  • Metal housing for durability.
  • Single PG13.5 conduit entry.
  • No integrated reset function.
  • IP67 and IP69K protection rating.

Reliable Rope Actuation for Industrial Systems

The FM1476 is designed for applications where actuation must occur over extended distances. By using a rope or cable system, operators can trigger the switch from multiple points along machinery, improving accessibility and safety across production lines.

Its slow-action contacts provide stable switching behaviour, reducing electrical noise and ensuring reliable signal transmission in industrial control systems. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Typical Applications

  • Conveyor emergency stop and signalling systems.
  • Industrial automation and process control.
  • Material handling equipment.
  • Production line monitoring.
  • Long-distance mechanical actuation systems.
  • General industrial signalling applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pizzato FM1476 used for?

This switch is used for signalling and position detection, particularly in conveyor systems where rope actuation enables remote activation.

What contact configuration does this model have?

The FM1476 features 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts with shifted design.

How does a rope-operated switch work?

The switch is activated by pulling a connected rope or cable, allowing operation from multiple points along machinery.

Are the contacts inverted in rest position?

Yes, this model keeps the contact block activated in rest position, meaning NO and NC contacts are inverted until actuation.

Is this switch suitable for harsh environments?

Yes, with a metal housing and IP67/IP69K protection rating, it is designed for demanding industrial conditions.
