Why Choose the Pizzato FR1176-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1176-M2 is a high-reliability rope-operated position switch engineered for industrial signalling and safety applications across extended machinery. As part of the robust Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise switching performance in automation systems where distributed actuation is required.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state when the rope is released. Its design ensures consistent and repeatable switching behaviour, making it ideal for conveyors and production lines where reliable signalling is critical.
Built with a durable technopolymer housing and equipped with a M20 x 1.5 conduit entry, the FR1176-M2 is designed for long service life in demanding industrial environments. It offers excellent resistance to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress while maintaining reliable performance.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1176-M2 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 line.
This design is particularly effective in conveyor systems and distributed automation setups where traditional single-point switches are not sufficient, improving both operational flexibility and system safety.
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.
