Why Choose the Pizzato FR576-T6 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR576-T6 is a compact and dependable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FR series, it offers consistent switching performance in conveyors, automation systems, and production lines.
This version features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning the switch automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. This ensures rapid, repeatable operation without manual intervention, making it ideal for continuous industrial processes.
The FR576-T6 is equipped with a PG13.5 conduit entry and T6 cable configuration, allowing secure wiring and simplified installation. Its durable technopolymer housing combined with IP67 and IP69K protection ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, including exposure to dust and washdown conditions.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR576-T6 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 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.
