Why Choose the Pizzato FD1878-E7M2 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FD1878-E7M2 is a robust rope-operated safety switch with reset for emergency stop designed for conveyors, production lines and extended industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FD series, it allows personnel to initiate an emergency stop through a tensioned safety rope positioned along the protected machine area.
The FD1878 configuration uses a 1NO + 1NC slow-action B18 contact block with positive opening of the normally closed safety contact. Its reset mechanism requires deliberate intervention following emergency activation, making the switch suitable for integration into appropriately designed machinery safety circuits.
The FD1878-E7M2 features a durable metal housing with IP67 protection according to EN 60529. The M2 variant provides an M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, while the E7 option forms part of Pizzato's configurable FD-series construction for industrial safety applications.
