Why Choose the Pizzato FR1376-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1376-M2 is a high-reliability rope-operated position switch engineered for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the robust Pizzato FR series, it delivers precise and repeatable switching performance in automation systems where distributed actuation is essential.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. This ensures consistent signalling behaviour, making it ideal for conveyor systems and production lines requiring dependable control across long distances.
Built with a reinforced technopolymer housing and a robust internal contact system, the FR1376-M2 is designed for long service life in demanding industrial environments, including exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope-operated position switch for industrial automation.
- Designed for extended actuation across machine lines.
- 2 NC contacts for safety and signalling applications.
- Automatic return operation without reset.
- Durable construction for harsh industrial environments.
- Compact design for easy installation.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 2 NC slow-action contacts (shifted and spaced, B13 contact block).
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- M20 x 1.5 conduit entry for secure wiring.
- Technopolymer housing with reinforced construction.
- IP67 and IP69K protection rating.
- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1376-M2 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.
A key design feature is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning the normal contact states are inverted until actuation occurs. This supports specific control logic requirements in industrial automation systems.
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 FR1376-M2 used for?
This switch is used for rope-actuated position control and signalling in industrial automation systems.
What contact configuration does it have?
The FR1376-M2 features 2 normally closed (NC) slow-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 keeps the contacts activated at rest, so their normal state is reversed until the rope is actuated.
Is it suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, it offers IP67 and IP69K protection, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
