Why Choose the Pizzato FR576-M2K70 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR576-M2K70 is a compact and robust rope-operated position switch engineered for reliable signalling and control across extended industrial machinery. As part of the dependable Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise switching performance in conveyor systems, automation lines, and distributed control applications.
This variant combines a rope actuation mechanism without reset with a M12 4-pole connector (K70 version), enabling quick plug-and-play installation. The switch automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released, ensuring consistent, repeatable operation without manual intervention.
Designed for demanding environments, the FR576-M2K70 features a durable technopolymer housing and offers IP67 and IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to dust, water ingress, and high-pressure washdown conditions commonly found in industrial settings.

- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR576-M2K70 enables precise and repeatable signalling across extended machinery using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism activates the contacts, allowing operators or automation systems to control equipment from multiple points along a production line.
A key design feature is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning all contacts 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.
