Why Choose the Pizzato FR676-A Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR676-A is a compact and robust rope-operated position switch designed for reliable signalling and control across extended industrial machinery. As part of the durable Pizzato FR series, it provides consistent switching performance for conveyors, automation systems, and distributed machine control applications.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. This ensures fast and repeatable switching, making it ideal for continuous industrial processes and signalling applications.
The FR676-A variant is equipped with a PG11 conduit entry and a rugged technopolymer housing, providing excellent durability in demanding environments. With IP67 and IP69K protection, it offers resistance to dust, water ingress, and washdown conditions commonly found in industrial settings.

- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 1 NO + 1 NC slow-action contacts (B6 contact block).
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- PG11 threaded conduit entry.
- Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
- IP67 / IP69K protection rating according to EN 60529 and ISO 20653.
- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR676-A 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.
