Why Choose the Pizzato FC3379 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FC3379 is a reliable rope-operated safety switch without reset designed for simple emergency stop applications on conveyors, production lines, and industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it enables immediate machine shutdown from any point along a tensioned safety rope, improving operator safety across long or hazardous machine areas.
Built for industrial environments, the FC3379 features a durable metal housing and high protection rating, ensuring consistent performance in dust, moisture, and vibration-heavy conditions. It is commonly used where continuous emergency stop coverage is required but a reset function is not necessary.
This model is designed for fail-safe operation: when the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and stops the machine. Because it is a “no reset” version, it returns to its normal state after the fault condition is removed, simplifying operation in basic safety systems.

Simple Rope Emergency Stop Protection
The FC3379 works by maintaining tension in a safety rope installed along machinery or conveyor systems. If the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and triggers a machine stop.
Unlike reset versions, this model automatically returns to its normal state once the fault condition is removed, making it suitable for simpler safety circuits where manual reset is not required.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor belt systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling systems.
- Industrial production lines.
- Warehouse automation systems.
- Perimeter safety protection systems.
