SM D0T Pizzato Low level coded actuator, actuation distance 12 mm

Why Choose the Pizzato SM D0T Low Level Coded Actuator?

The Pizzato SM D0T is a low level coded actuator designed for use with compatible Pizzato electronic safety sensors in industrial machine guarding applications. Identified by part number SMD0T, the actuator provides contactless coded activation, allowing the associated sensor to monitor the position of movable guards, doors and protective access points.

The actuator is designed with an actuation distance of 12 mm, providing practical operating tolerance between the actuator and compatible sensor. Its coded operating principle enables the sensor to recognise the intended actuator without the mechanical contact required by conventional tongue-operated interlock systems.

As a passive actuator, the Pizzato SMD0T is intended to be mounted on the moving part of a guard or door and aligned with its compatible safety sensor. The contactless arrangement helps minimise mechanical wear and makes the actuator suitable for repetitive opening and closing cycles in automated machinery and industrial production equipment.

Key Advantages

• Low level coded actuator for compatible Pizzato safety sensors.
• 12 mm actuation distance provides practical operating tolerance.

Reliable Contactless Actuation for Machine Guard Monitoring

Coded safety-sensor systems monitor movable guards without requiring the actuator to make direct mechanical contact with the sensor. When the Pizzato SMD0T enters the operating zone of a compatible sensor, its coded presence can be detected and used by the associated safety system to determine the position of the guard.

The 12 mm actuation distance provides useful alignment tolerance for industrial doors and guards, while the absence of mechanical engagement reduces wear during repeated operation. This makes the SMD0T particularly suitable for automated machinery where guards are opened frequently for loading, maintenance, adjustment or process access.
