Why Choose the Pizzato VF KEYD1 Actuator?
The Pizzato VF KEYD1 is a dedicated separate actuator for Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series safety switches. Designed for industrial machine guarding applications, it provides the mechanical interface required to operate a compatible safety switch as a movable guard reaches its closed position.
The actuator is installed on the moving part of a guard, door or access panel and enters the actuator opening of the associated safety switch when the guard closes. When the guard is opened, the actuator is withdrawn from the switch, allowing the machine safety control system to detect the change in guard position through the correctly configured safety circuit.
As a genuine Pizzato Elettrica safety switch accessory, the VF KEYD1 is intended for compatibility with the specified FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW switch families. It is suitable for machine builders, system integrators and maintenance teams requiring a replacement or installation actuator for compatible separate-actuator safety switches.

Reliable Actuation for Machine Guard Safety Switches
Separate-actuator safety switches are commonly used to monitor movable guards on industrial machinery. The safety switch body is normally mounted to the fixed structure, while the actuator is attached to the movable guard. Closing the guard inserts the actuator into the switch, allowing the switch contacts and associated safety control system to respond to the guard position.
The Pizzato VF KEYD1 provides this mechanical actuation function for compatible FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series switches. Correct actuator positioning and alignment are important during installation to ensure dependable operation and to minimise unnecessary mechanical stress on the actuator and switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato VF KEYD1 used for?
The VF KEYD1 is a separate actuator for compatible Pizzato safety switches, used to mechanically operate the switch when an industrial machine guard or access door reaches its closed position.
Which Pizzato safety switch series are compatible with the VF KEYD1?
The VF KEYD1 is designed for compatible Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series safety switches.
Where is the VF KEYD1 installed?
The actuator is normally installed on the movable machine guard, door or access panel, with the corresponding safety switch mounted on the fixed part of the machine structure.
How does the VF KEYD1 operate a safety switch?
When the guard closes, the VF KEYD1 enters the actuator opening of the compatible safety switch. Opening the guard withdraws the actuator, enabling the safety system to detect the change in guard position through the associated switch contacts and safety circuit.
Can the VF KEYD1 be used as a replacement actuator?
Yes. The VF KEYD1 can be used for replacement or maintenance applications where the installed Pizzato safety switch is confirmed as compatible with this actuator model.
Designed for Professional Machine Safety Systems
Pizzato safety switch actuators provide machine builders, system integrators and maintenance engineers with purpose-designed components for dependable guard monitoring across a wide range of industrial machinery and automated equipment.
