VF KEYF7 Pizzato Actuator for FC-FD-FL-FP-FS series

Why Choose the Pizzato VF KEYF7 Adjustable Safety Actuator?

The Pizzato VF KEYF7 is a jointed safety switch actuator adjustable in one direction, designed for compatible Pizzato FC, FD, FL, FP and FS series safety switches with separate actuator. It provides the mechanical interface required to operate the safety switch when a movable machine guard or access door reaches its closed position.

Unlike a fixed actuator, the VF KEYF7 incorporates a one-direction adjustable jointed design. This configuration is particularly useful for guards with reduced dimensions, allowing the actuator position to be adapted to the geometry and movement of the guard while maintaining reliable insertion into the compatible safety switch.

Manufactured as part of Pizzato's range of stainless steel separate actuators, the VF KEYF7 is designed specifically for the FC, FD, FL, FP and FS switch families. These actuator systems use low-level coding according to EN ISO 14119, making correct actuator selection and installation important for maintaining the intended machine guarding function.

Reliable Adjustable Actuation for Machine Guards

Safety switches with separate actuators are widely used to monitor movable guards on industrial machinery. The actuator is mounted to the moving part of the guard and enters the corresponding switch when the guard closes, allowing the machine safety system to monitor the guard position.

The Pizzato VF KEYF7 adds installation flexibility through its jointed, one-direction adjustable construction. This makes it particularly useful where a small guard or installation geometry makes a conventional fixed actuator less convenient. When correctly adjusted and installed with a compatible FC, FD, FL, FP or FS series switch, it provides a robust mechanical interface for dependable guard monitoring.
