Why Choose the Pizzato FR573-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?

The Pizzato FR573-M2 is a compact and durable rope-operated position switch designed for reliable control and signalling in industrial automation systems. As part of the trusted Pizzato FR series, it delivers consistent switching performance for applications requiring extended actuation across machinery or conveyor lines.

This model features a stable (bi-stable) switching mechanism, ensuring that once actuated, the switch maintains its position until reset. Its rope actuation design allows operators or systems to trigger signals from multiple positions, improving accessibility and control over large machine areas.

Constructed with a robust technopolymer housing and equipped with an M20 x 1.5 conduit entry, the FR573-M2 is built for long service life in demanding environments, offering reliable operation even under harsh industrial conditions.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial applications.
  • Bi-stable switching mechanism for stable signal retention.
  • Designed for extended actuation across machine lines.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for long operational life.
  • Compact design for easy installation.
  • High ingress protection for dust and moisture resistance.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FR series position switch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contacts.
  • Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
  • Stable (maintained) switching operation.
  • M20 x 1.5 conduit entry for cable installation.
  • Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
  • IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529.

Stable Rope Actuation for Industrial Control Systems

The Pizzato FR573-M2 enables precise and repeatable control across extended machine areas using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism is triggered and remains in position, ensuring consistent signal output until manually reset or reactivated.

This makes it ideal for applications where stable signalling or control states are required, such as conveyor systems, lifting equipment, or distributed machine control points.

Typical Applications

  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Industrial machinery with distributed control points.
  • Packaging and production equipment.
  • Position signalling across long machine lines.
  • Lifting and hoisting systems requiring rope control.
  • OEM automation and control systems.
