Why Choose the Pizzato VF KEYD5 Safety Switch Actuator?
The Pizzato VF KEYD5 is a dedicated separate actuator for Pizzato safety switches, designed for compatible FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series devices. It provides the mechanical interface between a movable machine guard and its safety switch, supporting dependable guard-position monitoring in industrial machinery and automation systems.
As part of the Pizzato VF actuator accessory range, the VF KEYD5 is intended for separate-actuator safety switch installations on hinged, sliding and removable guards. When the guard reaches its closed position, the actuator enters the compatible switch head and operates the switching mechanism; opening the guard withdraws the actuator so that the machine safety system can detect the change in guard position.
The D5 actuator configuration provides a manufacturer-designed solution for compatible Pizzato FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW safety switches. It is suitable for new machine builds as well as maintenance and replacement applications where the installed safety switch requires the VF KEYD5 actuator type.

Reliable Actuation for Machine Guard Safety
Separate-actuator safety switches are widely used to monitor movable protective guards on industrial machinery. The safety switch is mounted to the fixed machine structure while the actuator is attached to the moving guard, creating a direct mechanical relationship between guard position and operation of the safety switch.
Using the actuator configuration specified for the switch is important for reliable engagement and correct operation. The Pizzato VF KEYD5 provides the D5 actuator solution for compatible FR, FM, FX, FZ, FK and FW series devices, making it suitable for machine builders, system integrators and maintenance teams working with Pizzato guard-monitoring systems.
