  • Reliable rope-actuated position detection across extended machinery.
  • 2NO snap-action contacts for fast switching response.
  • M20 cable entry for standard industrial wiring.
  • Durable metal housing for demanding environments.
  • IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
  • Suitable for signalling and automation control circuits.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FD series position switch.
  • Rope-actuated head for remote or distributed activation.
  • 2NO snap-action contact block (B12 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 applications.

Rope Actuation for Flexible Machine Control

The FD1276-M2 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, enabling activation from a distance or across extended machinery. This improves accessibility and allows operators or systems to trigger switching functions from multiple positions along production lines.

Its snap-action switching mechanism ensures fast response and reliable signal transmission, making it ideal for automation control and monitoring systems.
