Why Choose the Pizzato FP 978-E7 Rope Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FP 978-E7 is a robust rope safety switch with manual reset for emergency-stop applications, designed to provide an accessible stopping function along conveyors, production lines and other extended industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FP series, it combines rope-pull actuation, positive-opening safety contacts and manual reset functionality for dependable machine safety.
The FP 978-E7 is designed so that pulling the connected safety rope operates the switch and initiates the associated emergency-stop circuit. The switch remains actuated until the hazardous condition has been addressed and the device is deliberately reset, helping prevent unintended machine restart following operation of the rope.
Featuring a durable technopolymer FP-series housing and IP67 protection, the FP 978-E7 is suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its rope-operated design enables an emergency-stop command to be initiated from multiple accessible positions along a properly installed rope system, making it particularly useful for conveyors and long production machinery.

Reliable Rope-Operated Emergency Stopping
Rope safety switches provide an effective way to make an emergency-stop control accessible across the length of conveyors and other extended machinery. When the correctly tensioned rope connected to the Pizzato FP 978-E7 is pulled, the switch mechanically operates its safety contacts so that the machine safety circuit can initiate an emergency stop.
Following actuation, the manual reset mechanism requires deliberate intervention before the switch can return to its normal operating condition. Combined with positive-opening contact operation, this makes the FP 978-E7 suitable for integration into properly designed industrial safety circuits where accessible rope-operated emergency stopping is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor systems.
- Material handling and transfer lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Long production and assembly lines.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
