Why Choose the Pizzato FM1476 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FM1476 is a heavy-duty rope-operated position switch, designed for reliable signalling and position detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the durable Pizzato FM series, it enables remote actuation across long distances, making it ideal for conveyor systems and large-scale machinery.
This model features a robust metal housing with rope actuation mechanism, allowing activation from multiple points along equipment. It incorporates 2 NC slow-action contacts with shifted design, ensuring stable switching behaviour and enhanced reliability in safety and control circuits. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The FM1476 is designed without an integrated reset function and includes a single PG13.5 conduit entry, making it suitable for signalling applications where external control logic is used. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Reliable Rope Actuation for Industrial Systems
The FM1476 is designed for applications where actuation must occur over extended distances. By using a rope or cable system, operators can trigger the switch from multiple points along machinery, improving accessibility and safety across production lines.
Its slow-action contacts provide stable switching behaviour, reducing electrical noise and ensuring reliable signal transmission in industrial control systems. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Typical Applications
- Conveyor emergency stop and signalling systems.
- Industrial automation and process control.
- Material handling equipment.
- Production line monitoring.
- Long-distance mechanical actuation systems.
- General industrial signalling applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FM1476 used for?
This switch is used for signalling and position detection, particularly in conveyor systems where rope actuation enables remote activation.
What contact configuration does this model have?
The FM1476 features 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts with shifted design.
How does a rope-operated switch work?
The switch is activated by pulling a connected rope or cable, allowing operation from multiple points along machinery.
Are the contacts inverted in rest position?
Yes, this model keeps the contact block activated in rest position, meaning NO and NC contacts are inverted until actuation.
Is this switch suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, with a metal housing and IP67/IP69K protection rating, it is designed for demanding industrial conditions.
