Why Choose the Pizzato FL 979 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FL 979 is a robust rope safety switch without reset for simple stop applications, designed for reliable safety monitoring along conveyors, production lines and industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FL Series, it combines electromechanical rope actuation with a heavy-duty metal housing for dependable operation in demanding machine safety environments.
The FL 979 uses a longitudinal rope-actuated head and a 2NC slow-action contact block (B9). Correctly tensioning the safety rope places the switch in its normal operating condition, while movement or loss of rope tension operates the contacts so the associated machine control circuit can initiate a stop. Positive-opening operation provides dependable mechanical opening of the safety contacts.
With an IP67 protection rating, an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C and contacts rated at 6 A at 250 V AC, the FL 979 is well suited to industrial safety applications. The switch also incorporates a correct rope-tension indicator and supports rope installations up to approximately 18 m with a single switch or 24 m with switches at both ends.

Reliable Rope Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Rope safety switches provide an effective means of monitoring extended areas of industrial machinery where a conventional point-operated safety switch may not provide sufficient coverage. A tensioned rope can be routed along a conveyor or production line so that movement of the rope operates the safety switch and signals the machine control system to initiate a simple stop.
The Pizzato FL Series is engineered for industrial installations requiring robust electromechanical switching and reliable environmental protection. The FL 979 combines a metal housing, 2NC slow-action contacts, positive-opening operation and rope-tension indication, making it a practical safety component for machine builders, conveyor manufacturers and industrial automation engineers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor safety systems.
- Material-handling and transfer equipment.
- Production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine safety and rope position monitoring.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
