Why Choose the Pizzato FD1076 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1076 is a robust position switch for rope actuation, designed for reliable signalling and position detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FD series, it offers dependable performance in harsh environments where durability and accuracy are essential.
This model features a 2 normally open (2NO) slow-action contact configuration, making it ideal for signalling and control applications where precise switching is required. The rope-actuated design allows remote or distributed activation, making it suitable for larger machinery and systems.
Constructed with a durable metal housing, PG13.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1076 is engineered to withstand dust, moisture and demanding industrial conditions while maintaining consistent operation.
Key Advantages
- Reliable position detection via rope actuation.
- 2NO contact configuration for signalling applications.
- Slow-action contacts for stable switching performance.
- Durable metal housing for industrial environments.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
- Suitable for distributed activation across machinery.
Key Features
- Pizzato FD series position switch.
- Rope-actuated head for remote activation.
- 2NO slow-action contact block (B10 configuration).
- Metal housing with single conduit entry.
- PG13.5 threaded cable entry (no gland supplied).
- Contact inversion in rest position due to actuator design.
- Designed for industrial signalling and control systems.
Rope Actuation for Flexible Machine Control
The FD1076 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, enabling switching from a distance or across extended machinery. This design is particularly useful in applications where direct access to the switch is not possible or where multiple activation points are required.
It is commonly used for signalling rather than emergency stop, making it suitable for monitoring positions or triggering control functions in automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial signalling and position detection systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Remote actuation and distributed control systems.
- OEM automation equipment.
- Machine monitoring and control circuits.
