Why Choose the Pizzato FD1276 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1276 is a heavy-duty position switch for rope actuation, designed for reliable signalling and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it delivers consistent performance in demanding environments where durability and precision are essential.
This model features a 2 normally open (2NO) snap-action contact configuration, providing fast and responsive switching for control and signalling applications. The rope-actuated head enables remote activation along machinery, making it ideal for distributed systems and extended production lines.
Constructed with a durable metal housing, PG13.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1276 is engineered to withstand dust, moisture and harsh industrial conditions, ensuring reliable long-term operation.

Rope Actuation for Flexible Machine Control
The FD1276 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, allowing activation from multiple points along a machine. This makes it particularly effective for long conveyors or systems where direct access to the switch is limited.
Its snap-action switching ensures rapid response and reliable signalling, making it suitable for automation control circuits and process monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Industrial signalling and control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Distributed actuation across large machines.
- OEM automation systems.
- Machine monitoring and control circuits.
