Why Choose the Pizzato FR573 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?

The Pizzato FR573 is a compact and reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial automation and control applications. As part of the proven Pizzato FR series, it delivers consistent switching performance and durability for systems requiring dependable actuation over extended distances.

This model features a rope actuation ring mechanism, allowing control or signalling to be triggered from multiple positions along a machine or conveyor line. Its robust technopolymer housing ensures long-term resistance to mechanical stress, dust, and moisture in demanding industrial environments.

With a standard PG13.5 conduit entry and compact footprint, the FR573 is easy to integrate into control panels and machinery, offering a practical solution for distributed actuation and position detection tasks.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial control.
  • Compact miniature design for space-saving installation.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for harsh environments.
  • Bi-stable switching action for stable signal output.
  • Flexible actuation across extended machine areas.
  • High ingress protection for dust and moisture resistance.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FR series position switch.
  • 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contacts.
  • Rope actuation ring for remote triggering.
  • PG13.5 cable entry for flexible wiring.
  • Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
  • IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529.
  • Bi-stable (maintained) switching mechanism.

Flexible Rope Actuation for Industrial Systems

The Pizzato FR573 allows operators or system components to activate switching functions across extended machine areas. By pulling the rope or ring, the internal mechanism is triggered, making it ideal for applications where traditional point-actuated switches are not practical.

Its bi-stable switching design ensures that once actuated, the switch maintains its state until reset, providing stable and predictable control signals for automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Industrial machinery requiring distributed actuation.
  • Packaging and production equipment.
  • Position signalling across extended machine lines.
  • Automation control systems and OEM machinery.
  • Industrial safety and monitoring applications.
