Why Choose the Pizzato FR1376 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1376 is a robust and precise rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the durable Pizzato FR series, it ensures reliable switching performance where distributed actuation is required, such as conveyor systems and automated production lines.
This model features a rope actuation mechanism without reset, meaning it automatically returns to its normal state once the rope is released. It is specifically designed for signalling applications where consistent, repeatable switching is essential for safe and efficient machine operation.
Constructed with a reinforced technopolymer housing and offering IP67 and IP69K protection, the FR1376 is engineered to withstand harsh 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 NC contacts for safety and signalling applications.
- Automatic return operation without reset requirement.
- Durable construction suitable for demanding environments.
- Compact design for easy installation.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 2 NC slow-action contacts (shifted and spaced).
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- PG13.5 conduit entry for cable installation.
- Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
- IP67 and IP69K protection rating.
- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1376 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 unique feature of this model is that the actuator keeps the contact block activated in its rest position, meaning contact states are inverted until actuation occurs. This design 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 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 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.
