Why Choose the Pizzato FD1878-E7M2 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FD1878-E7M2 is a robust rope-operated safety switch with reset for emergency stop designed for conveyors, production lines and extended industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FD series, it allows personnel to initiate an emergency stop through a tensioned safety rope positioned along the protected machine area.
The FD1878 configuration uses a 1NO + 1NC slow-action B18 contact block with positive opening of the normally closed safety contact. Its reset mechanism requires deliberate intervention following emergency activation, making the switch suitable for integration into appropriately designed machinery safety circuits.
The FD1878-E7M2 features a durable metal housing with IP67 protection according to EN 60529. The M2 variant provides an M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, while the E7 option forms part of Pizzato's configurable FD-series construction for industrial safety applications.

Reliable Rope Emergency Stop Protection
Rope-operated emergency stop switches provide an effective safety solution for conveyors and other extended machinery where operators may need to initiate an emergency stop from multiple positions. A tensioned safety rope can be routed along the protected machine area, providing more extensive access to the emergency stop function than a single fixed pushbutton.
The Pizzato FD1878-E7M2 combines this extended emergency stop accessibility with a slow-action 1NO + 1NC contact arrangement and positive opening of the normally closed contact. Its robust metal construction and IP67 enclosure protection make it suitable for demanding industrial machine safety installations.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor belt emergency stop systems.
- Material handling and transfer equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Industrial production and assembly lines.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
- Extended machinery requiring accessible emergency stop operation.
