The Pizzato FC3480 is a robust rope-operated safety switch without reset (simple stop version) designed for emergency stop protection on conveyors, production lines, and industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it allows immediate machine shutdown from any point along a tensioned safety rope, ensuring continuous operator protection across extended machinery layouts.
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the FC3480 features a durable metal housing and high IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for dust-heavy, humid, and vibration-prone conditions. It is widely used where full-length emergency stop coverage is required but a manual reset function is not necessary.
This model operates on a fail-safe simple stop principle: when the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and triggers an emergency stop. Once the fault is cleared, the switch automatically returns to its normal operating state without requiring manual intervention.
Key Advantages
Reliable rope pull emergency stop safety switch for industrial machinery.
Enables emergency stop from any point along the rope length.
Simple stop design with automatic return (no reset required).
Robust metal housing for harsh industrial environments.
IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
Ideal for conveyor systems and long machine safety zones.
Automatic return after rope release (no reset required).
Reliable Rope Emergency Stop Protection
The FC3480 monitors tension in a safety rope installed along machinery or conveyor systems. When the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal switching mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and stops the machine.
Once the fault condition is removed, the switch automatically returns to normal operation without requiring manual reset, making it suitable for simple safety circuits and continuous production environments.
