Why Choose the Pizzato FD 2899-FM2 Safety Switch with Lock and Separate Actuator?
The Pizzato FD 2899-FM2 is a robust safety switch with lock and separate actuator designed for monitoring movable machine guards while providing controlled release through a key-operated unlocking mechanism. Part of the Pizzato FD series, it combines a durable metal housing with positive-opening safety contacts for dependable industrial machine guarding.
The FD 2899-FM2 uses the B28 contact block, comprising 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the lock plus 1NC contact operated by the actuator. This arrangement provides separate electrical monitoring of the locking mechanism and actuator position, giving an overall configuration of 1NO + 2NC.
The F configuration uses a straight separate actuator, while the M2 version provides one M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry. Together with its IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and positive-opening operation, the FD 2899-FM2 provides a durable solution for machine doors, guards and protective access points.

Separate Monitoring of Guard Position and Release Status
Safety switches with a separate actuator and key-operated release are designed for movable guards where the machine safety system needs to detect the position of the guard while providing a controlled method of releasing the actuator. The actuator is mounted to the movable guard and enters the operating head as the guard closes.
The Pizzato FD 2899-FM2 uses separate contacts for the actuator and release mechanism, allowing their respective states to be monitored within the machine control architecture. When correctly selected and incorporated into an appropriate safety system, its positive-opening contacts provide dependable guard monitoring for industrial doors, gates and protective enclosures.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective enclosures.
- Hinged and sliding safety guards.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Industrial production and assembly equipment.
- Machine tools and automated machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Industrial guard-monitoring and controlled-access systems.
