Why Choose the Pizzato FD1309-M2 Rope Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1309-M2 is a robust rope-operated position switch, engineered for reliable signalling across large industrial machinery and conveyor systems. As part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FD series, it is designed to provide dependable performance in demanding automation environments where long-distance actuation is required.
This model features 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts with shifted and spaced configuration and positive opening, making it particularly suitable for safety-related applications requiring reliable disconnection. Its rugged metal housing and IP67 protection rating ensure consistent operation in harsh industrial conditions including dust, moisture and vibration.
The integrated rope actuator allows activation from multiple points along a cable line, making it ideal for long conveyors and extended machinery. The M20 x 1.5 threaded conduit entry supports flexible installation, with this version supplied without a cable gland.
