Why Choose the Pizzato VF KEYD2 Safety Switch Actuator?
The Pizzato VF KEYD2 is a dedicated separate actuator for Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series safety switches. Designed for industrial machine guards, doors and access panels, it provides the mechanical interface required to operate a compatible separate-actuator safety switch as the guard moves between its open and closed positions.
The VF KEYD2 is designed for applications where a dedicated Pizzato actuator is required to engage the switch head correctly. Mounted on the movable part of the guard, it enters the compatible safety switch when the guard closes, allowing the switch to monitor the position of the protective guard as part of the machinery safety system.
As a genuine Pizzato accessory, the VF KEYD2 provides a manufacturer-matched solution for new machine builds, replacement installations and maintenance requirements. It is a passive mechanical component requiring no electrical supply or wiring, while the associated FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK or FW series switch performs the electrical safety switching function.

- Purpose-designed for industrial machinery safeguarding systems.
Mechanical Actuation for Reliable Machine Guard Monitoring
Safety switches with separate actuators are widely used to monitor movable guards on industrial machinery. The switch body is normally mounted to the fixed structure while the actuator is installed on the movable guard, so opening the guard withdraws the actuator and causes the associated safety switch to change state.
The Pizzato VF KEYD2 provides the dedicated mechanical interface for compatible FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series switches. Correct positioning and alignment of the actuator and switch are important for dependable operation, and the machine guard should incorporate its own mechanical stop so that the actuator and safety switch are not subjected to unnecessary impact.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard monitoring.
- Hinged and sliding safety doors.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production cells and guarded access points.
- Replacement actuator requirements for compatible Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series switches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato VF KEYD2?
The VF KEYD2 is a separate mechanical actuator designed for compatible Pizzato safety switches used to monitor industrial machine guards and access doors.
Which Pizzato safety switch series are compatible with the VF KEYD2?
The VF KEYD2 is designed for compatible Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series safety switches with separate actuators.
What does the VF KEYD2 do?
The VF KEYD2 mechanically engages the compatible safety switch when the machine guard closes, enabling the associated switch to monitor the position of the guard.
Where is the VF KEYD2 installed?
The actuator is normally fitted to the movable machine guard, safety door or access panel, while the compatible safety switch is mounted on the fixed structure.
Does the Pizzato VF KEYD2 require electrical wiring?
No. The VF KEYD2 is a passive mechanical actuator and requires no electrical supply or wiring. Electrical switching is performed by the compatible Pizzato safety switch.
Can the VF KEYD2 be used as the mechanical stop for a guard?
No. The machine guard should have a suitable mechanical stop so that the actuator and safety switch are not used to absorb the impact of the closing guard.
Is a Pizzato safety switch included with the VF KEYD2?
No. The VF KEYD2 is the actuator accessory only. The appropriate compatible Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK or FW series safety switch must be selected separately.
