Why Choose the Pizzato FC3478-M2 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FC3478-M2 is a robust rope-operated safety switch with reset for emergency stop applications, designed for industrial conveyors, production lines, and large machinery systems. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it enables immediate emergency stop activation from any point along a tensioned safety rope, ensuring full perimeter machine protection.
Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the FC3478-M2 features a durable metal housing with a high IP67 protection rating, providing reliable performance in dusty, wet, and vibration-heavy conditions. It is widely used in applications where traditional emergency stop buttons are insufficient, offering continuous safety coverage along extended machinery installations.
This model includes a manual reset function after activation or rope break, ensuring the machine cannot restart until the safety condition has been intentionally cleared. This enhances operator safety and compliance with modern machine safety standards such as EN ISO 13850.
Key Advantages
- Reliable rope pull emergency stop safety switch for industrial systems.
- Full-length emergency stop activation from any point along the rope.
- Manual reset prevents automatic restart after activation or fault.
- Heavy-duty metal housing for industrial durability.
- IP67 protection for dust and water resistance.
- Ideal for conveyor systems and large-scale machinery.
Key Features
- Pizzato FC safety switch series.
- Rope pull emergency stop mechanism with reset function.
- Contact configuration: 2NC (slow action, B34).
- Positive opening safety contacts.
- IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529.
- Metal enclosure with M20 x 1.5 cable entry.

Reliable Rope Emergency Stop Protection
The FC3478-M2 works by maintaining tension in a safety rope installed along machinery or conveyor systems. When the rope is pulled or breaks, the internal mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts and triggers an emergency stop condition.
After activation, the switch remains latched until manually reset, ensuring that machinery cannot restart until the fault condition is safely cleared.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor belt systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling systems.
- Large industrial production lines.
- Warehouse automation systems.
- Perimeter safety protection systems.
