Why Choose the Pizzato FC3380 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FC3380 is a compact rope-operated safety switch without reset (simple stop version) designed for emergency stop protection on conveyors, production lines, and industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it enables operators to stop machinery instantly from any point along a tensioned safety rope.
Built with a durable industrial metal housing and high IP67 protection rating, the FC3380 ensures reliable performance in harsh environments including dust, moisture, and vibration. It is commonly used in applications where continuous emergency stop coverage is required across long machine sections, but a manual reset function is not needed.
The switch operates on a fail-safe principle: when the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts, triggering an emergency stop condition. Once the fault is cleared, the device returns to its normal state automatically, simplifying system operation.

Reliable Rope Emergency Stop Protection
The FC3380 monitors tension in a safety rope installed along machinery or conveyor systems. If the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal switching mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and stops the machine.
Once the fault condition is cleared, the switch automatically resets to its normal operating state without requiring manual intervention, making it suitable for simpler safety circuits and continuous process systems.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor belt systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling systems.
- Industrial production lines.
- Warehouse automation systems.
- Perimeter safety protection systems.
