Why Choose the Pizzato FR1176 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1176 is a durable and precise rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machine systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FR series, it provides consistent switching performance where distributed actuation is required along conveyors and production lines.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal position once the rope is released. Its design ensures reliable operation for signalling applications where quick response and repeatable switching are essential.
With a rugged technopolymer housing and high ingress protection, the FR1176 is engineered for long-term use in demanding environments, including exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.

- Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial automation.
- Designed for extended actuation across machine lines.
- 2 NC contacts for safety and signalling applications.
- Durable housing suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- Compact design for easy integration into machinery.
- High ingress protection against dust and water.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 2 NC snap-action contacts.
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- PG13.5 conduit entry for cable installation.

Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1176 enables accurate and repeatable signalling across extended machinery using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism activates the contacts, allowing operators or systems to control machinery from multiple positions along a production line.
Its design ensures consistent switching performance, making it suitable for automation systems where reliable feedback and distributed control are essential.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial automation and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Position signalling across extended machine lines.
- OEM equipment and production systems.
- Distributed control applications using rope actuation.
