Why Choose the Pizzato FR576-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR576-M2 is a compact and highly reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the established Pizzato FR series, it delivers consistent switching performance in conveyors, automation systems, and distributed machine control applications.
This version features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning the switch automatically returns to its normal state when the rope is released. This enables fast, repeatable operation without manual intervention, making it ideal for continuous industrial processes and signalling functions.
Built with a robust technopolymer housing and equipped with a M20 × 1.5 conduit entry, the FR576-M2 is engineered for durability in harsh industrial environments. It offers IP67 and IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to dust, water ingress, and high-pressure washdown conditions.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR576-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 production line.
A key design characteristic is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning all contact states are inverted until actuation occurs. This supports specialised control logic and signalling strategies 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.
