Why Choose the Pizzato FD1176-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1176-M2 is a heavy-duty position switch for rope actuation, engineered for reliable signalling and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it is designed to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments where durability and reliability are critical.
This model features a 2 normally closed (2NC) snap-action contact configuration, providing fast and fail-safe switching for control circuits. The rope-actuated design enables remote or distributed activation, making it ideal for larger machines and conveyor systems.
Built with a durable metal housing, M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1176-M2 is designed to withstand dust, moisture and harsh industrial conditions while maintaining long-term operational reliability.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope-actuated position detection for distributed systems.
- 2NC snap-action contacts for fail-safe operation.
- Fast switching response for precise control.
- Durable metal housing for industrial environments.
- M20 cable entry for standard wiring.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
Key Features
- Pizzato FD series position switch.
- Rope-actuated head for remote activation.
- 2NC snap-action contact block (B11 configuration).
- Metal housing with single conduit entry.
- M20 × 1.5 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 Control
The FD1176-M2 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, enabling switching from a distance or across extended machinery. This allows operators or systems to activate signals from multiple positions, improving flexibility in machine design and operation.
Its 2NC contact configuration ensures circuit continuity under normal conditions, making it suitable for fail-safe control systems where reliable interruption is required upon activation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial signalling and control systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Distributed actuation across large machines.
- OEM automation systems.
- Machine monitoring and interlocking circuits.
