Why Choose the Pizzato FD 978-E7M2 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FD 978-E7M2 is a robust rope safety switch with manual reset for emergency stop applications, designed to provide accessible emergency stopping along conveyors, production lines and other extended industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FD Safety Series, it combines dependable rope actuation with positive-opening safety contacts and a heavy-duty metal housing for demanding machine safety installations.
This model features 2NC slow-action contacts, silver contact elements and a longitudinal operating head. The rope mechanism operates with an initial actuation force of approximately 20 N and a final force of approximately 40 N, providing reliable mechanical operation when incorporated into a correctly installed emergency stop rope system.
With an IP67 protection rating, an operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C and a durable metal enclosure, the FD 978-E7M2 is well suited to demanding industrial environments. Its M20 × 1.5 conduit entry provides a practical connection point for machine wiring, while the manual reset function helps ensure that deliberate intervention is required following emergency actuation.

Accessible Emergency Stopping Along Industrial Machinery
Rope-operated safety switches provide an effective means of extending emergency stop access along conveyors and other machinery where individual emergency stop push buttons may not provide convenient coverage. A correctly tensioned rope can be routed alongside the hazardous area, allowing an operator to actuate the emergency stop system from accessible positions along its length.
The Pizzato FD 978-E7M2 combines a 2NC slow-action contact arrangement with a manual reset mechanism and robust metal construction. When the emergency rope operates the switch, the associated safety circuit can initiate the required machine stop function. The switch must subsequently be deliberately reset as part of restoring the machine safety system for normal operation.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor emergency stop systems.
- Material handling and distribution equipment.
- Industrial production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated manufacturing systems.
- Warehousing and logistics conveyors.
- Extended machinery requiring accessible emergency stopping.
- OEM machine building and industrial safety systems.
