Why Choose the Pizzato FR1476-M2 Rope-Actuated Position Switch?
The Pizzato FR1476-M2 is a robust and highly reliable rope-operated position switch designed for industrial signalling and control across extended machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FR series, it delivers consistent and precise switching performance in applications 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 when the rope is released. This ensures fast response and repeatable switching behaviour, making it ideal for signalling and control tasks where system reliability is critical.
Constructed with a durable technopolymer housing and equipped with a M20 × 1.5 conduit entry, the FR1476-M2 is designed for long service life in demanding industrial environments. It provides IP67 and IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning processes.

- 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 harsh industrial environments.
- High ingress protection against dust, water, and washdown conditions.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series position switch.
- 2 NC slow-action contacts (shifted contact block B14).
- Rope actuation head for remote triggering.
- M20 × 1.5 conduit entry for secure wiring.
- Technopolymer housing with reinforced structure.
- IP67 / IP69K protection rating according to EN 60529 and ISO 20653.
- Contacts inverted in rest position due to actuator design.
Reliable Rope-Actuated Control for Industrial Systems
The Pizzato FR1476-M2 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 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 specialised control logic and safety strategies 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 FR1476-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 FR1476-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.
