Why Choose the Pizzato VF FG-LP60 Metal Release Button?
The Pizzato VF FG-LP60 is a dedicated metal release button for Pizzato FG series safety switches, designed for installations where the release mechanism must pass through machine guarding or a wall with a thickness of up to 60 mm. It provides an extended mechanical interface for operating the release function while allowing the safety switch to remain correctly positioned within the guarded installation.
Pizzato specifies the VF FG-LP60 for wall thicknesses from 40 to 60 mm. Unlike the shorter VF FG-LP15, VF FG-LP30 and VF FG-LP40 technopolymer versions, the LP60 uses a metal construction for its longer release-button configuration and is supplied complete with the required screw.
Designed specifically as an accessory for Pizzato FG series safety switches with separate actuator and guard locking, the VF FG-LP60 provides a manufacturer-matched solution for machine builders and maintenance engineers. Its approximately 38 mm diameter operating button remains accessible through thicker guarding while the release mechanism mechanically interfaces with the associated switch.

Extended Mechanical Release for Thicker Machine Guarding
Guard-locking safety switches are frequently mounted behind panels, doors or structural guarding, making the thickness of the surrounding material an important consideration when selecting the release-button configuration. The VF FG-LP60 extends the mechanical release arrangement for installations with wall thicknesses between 40 and 60 mm, providing access to the release function while retaining the safety switch behind the guarding.
For the VF FG-LP60, Pizzato specifies that bending and twisting of the release button should be avoided and that a clearance of 10–25 mm should be maintained between the wall and the release button. The actuation path should also be kept clean from dirt and chemical contamination, with the mechanism periodically checked to confirm correct operation.
Typical Applications
- Pizzato FG series guard-locking safety switch installations.
- Machine guards with 40–60 mm wall thickness.
- Industrial safety doors and guarded access points.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production equipment requiring an accessible mechanical release through thick guarding.
