Why Choose the Pizzato FD1176 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1176 is a heavy-duty position switch for rope actuation, designed for reliable signalling and control in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FD series, it is engineered for long service life and dependable operation in demanding environments.
This model features a 2 normally closed (2NC) snap-action contact configuration, making it suitable for applications where fail-safe switching is required. The rope-actuated head enables activation from a distance, allowing flexible installation across extended machinery.
Built with a durable metal housing, PG13.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1176 is designed to withstand dust, moisture and harsh industrial conditions while maintaining consistent performance.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope-actuated position detection for distributed systems.
- 2NC snap-action contacts for fail-safe operation.
- Fast switching response with snap-action mechanism.
- Durable metal housing for industrial environments.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
- Suitable for signalling and control circuits.
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.
- 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 Control
The FD1176 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, enabling switching from a distance or across extended machinery. This allows operators or systems to trigger signals from multiple points, improving flexibility in machine design and operation.
Its 2NC contact configuration makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring fail-safe signalling, where circuit integrity is maintained until activation occurs.
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.
