Why Choose the Pizzato VF AF-CA10 Angular Pulley?
The Pizzato VF AF-CA10 is a purpose-designed stainless-steel angular pulley for rope-operated safety switch systems. Developed as part of Pizzato's range of accessories for rope safety switches, it supports and guides the safety rope where the installation needs to change direction around machinery, conveyors or other protected areas.
Unlike a straight support pulley, the VF AF-CA10 is designed specifically for angular rope routing. This enables a rope-operated emergency-stop system to follow the perimeter or geometry of a machine while maintaining controlled guidance of the safety rope. Pizzato illustrates the VF AF-CA10 in perimeter safety applications where multiple angular pulleys route a rope around machinery.
Manufactured from stainless steel, the VF AF-CA10 provides a durable mechanical solution for industrial safety-rope installations. Its pulley wheel has a diameter of approximately 23 mm, and the assembly is designed for use with compatible Pizzato rope safety switch systems.

Reliable Rope Guidance for Machine Safety Systems
Rope-operated safety switches allow an operator to initiate a stop or emergency-stop function from positions along a tensioned safety rope. Where the protected area extends around corners or around the perimeter of machinery, suitable pulleys are used to support and redirect the rope while maintaining the intended installation geometry.
The Pizzato VF AF-CA10 is specifically designed for these angular routing points. Pizzato also specifies the VF AF-CA5 and VF AF-CA10 pulleys for supporting longer safety ropes, with the permitted pulley spacing dependent on the type of rope safety switch head used in the installation.
Typical Applications
- Rope-operated emergency-stop systems.
- Safety rope routing around machine corners.
- Perimeter protection around industrial machinery.
- Conveyor safety systems.
- Long production and processing machines.
- Material handling and automated equipment.
- Pizzato FC, FD, FL and FP rope safety switch installations.
