Why Choose the Pizzato FR276-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR276-M2 is a compact and reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the established Pizzato FR series, it ensures dependable switching performance in conveyor systems, production lines, and distributed automation applications.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. This allows fast and repeatable switching without manual intervention, making it ideal for continuous industrial processes and signalling applications.
Constructed with a robust technopolymer housing and equipped with a M20 × 1.5 conduit entry, the FR276-M2 is designed for durability in demanding environments. It offers IP67 and IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to dust, water, and washdown conditions.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR276-M2 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 feature of this design 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 signalling 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.
