Why Choose the Pizzato FR1276 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1276 is a robust and highly reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the durable Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise switching performance in automation systems where distributed actuation is essential.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, ensuring automatic return to its normal state when the rope is released. It is specifically designed for signalling applications, making it ideal for conveyors and production lines requiring consistent and repeatable switching behaviour.
With a reinforced technopolymer housing and high ingress protection, the FR1276 is built to withstand demanding industrial environments, including exposure to dust, water, and mechanical stress.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial automation.
- Designed for extended actuation across machine lines.
- 2 NO contacts for flexible signalling applications.
- Automatic return operation without reset.
- Durable construction for harsh environments.
- Compact design for easy installation.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 2 NO snap-action contacts (B12 contact block).
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- PG13.5 conduit entry for cable installation.
- Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
- IP67 and IP69K protection rating for industrial environments.
- Silver contacts for reliable electrical performance.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1276 enables precise and repeatable signalling across extended machinery using rope actuation. When the rope is pulled, the internal mechanism activates the contacts, allowing operators or automated systems to control equipment from multiple positions along a production line.
This design is particularly effective for conveyor systems and distributed automation setups, improving operational flexibility and ensuring consistent system feedback.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FR1276 used for?
This switch is used for rope-actuated position control and signalling in industrial automation systems.
What contact configuration does it have?
The FR1276 features 2 normally open (NO) snap-action contacts.
Does this switch require manual reset?
No, it operates without reset and automatically returns to its normal state when the rope is released.
What does inverted contacts in rest position mean?
It means the actuator design keeps contacts activated at rest, so the normal state of contacts is reversed until actuation occurs.
Is it suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, it offers IP67 and IP69K protection, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
