Why Choose the Pizzato FR2276 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR2276 is a heavy-duty rope-operated position switch designed for reliable signalling and control across extended industrial machinery. As part of the advanced Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise and consistent switching performance in applications such as conveyors, production lines, and distributed automation systems.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. This ensures rapid response and repeatable operation without manual intervention, improving efficiency in continuous industrial processes.
Built with a durable technopolymer housing and designed for harsh environments, the FR2276 offers IP67 and IP69K protection, providing excellent resistance to dust, water, and washdown conditions commonly found in industrial settings.

- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR2276 enables accurate and repeatable signalling across extended machinery using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism activates the contacts, allowing operators or automated systems to control equipment from multiple positions along a production line.
A key design feature is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning the normal contact states are inverted until actuation occurs. This supports specialised control logic and safety requirements in industrial automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial automation and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Position signalling across extended machine lines.
- OEM equipment and production systems.
- Distributed control applications using rope actuation.
