Why Choose the Pizzato FR576-M2T6 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?

The Pizzato FR576-M2T6 is a compact and robust rope-operated position switch engineered for reliable signalling and control across extended industrial machinery. As part of the well-established Pizzato FR series, it provides consistent switching performance for 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 and repeatable switching, making it ideal for continuous industrial processes where reliability is critical.

The FR576-M2T6 is equipped with a M20 × 1.5 conduit entry and a T6 integrated cable connection configuration, providing secure wiring and simplified installation. Its durable technopolymer housing combined with IP67 protection ensures reliable operation even in demanding industrial environments.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial automation.
  • T6 cable connection version for efficient installation.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC contacts for flexible signalling and control.
  • Automatic return operation without reset requirement.
  • Compact and durable construction.
  • Suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FR series position switch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contacts (B5 contact block).
  • Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
  • M20 × 1.5 conduit entry with T6 cable configuration.
  • Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
  • IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529.
  • Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems

The Pizzato FR576-M2T6 enables precise and repeatable signalling across extended machinery using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism activates the contacts, allowing operators or automation systems to control equipment from multiple points along a production line.

A key design feature is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning all contacts are inverted until actuation occurs. This supports specialised control logic and signalling strategies 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.
