Why Choose the Pizzato FR1876 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1876 is a robust and reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise and consistent switching performance in applications where distributed actuation is required, such as conveyor systems and automated production lines.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, ensuring automatic return to its normal state once the rope is released. It is specifically engineered for applications requiring dependable and repeatable switching behaviour across long machine runs.
Constructed with a durable technopolymer housing and offering IP67 and IP69K protection, the FR1876 is built to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, including exposure to dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning conditions.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1876 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 the normal contact states are inverted until actuation occurs. This supports specialised control logic and signalling requirements 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.
