Why Choose the Pizzato FD1376-M2 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD1376-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 delivers dependable performance in demanding environments where durability and precise switching are critical.
This model features a 2 normally closed (2NC) slow-action contact configuration, making it ideal for applications requiring stable and fail-safe signalling. The rope-actuated design allows activation from multiple points along machinery, improving flexibility for conveyors and large industrial systems.
Built with a durable metal housing, M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry and IP67 protection rating, the FD1376-M2 is designed to withstand dust, moisture and harsh industrial conditions while ensuring long-term operational reliability.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope-actuated position detection for large machinery.
- 2NC slow-action contacts for stable and fail-safe switching.
- 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 distributed or remote activation.
- 2NC slow-action contact block (B13 configuration).
- Metal housing with single conduit entry.
- M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry (no gland supplied).
- Shifted and spaced contacts for improved reliability.
- Contact inversion in rest position due to actuator design.
Rope Actuation for Flexible Machine Control
The FD1376-M2 uses a rope-actuated mechanism, enabling activation from multiple points along a machine or conveyor system. This improves accessibility and allows operators to trigger switching functions from anywhere along the rope path.
Its 2NC configuration ensures circuit continuity under normal conditions, making it suitable for fail-safe control systems where reliable interruption is required when the switch is activated.
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.
