FG 60AD1E3A-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60AD1E3A-F28 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60AD1E3A-F28 is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid locking designed for controlling access to hazardous areas around industrial machinery. As part of the established Pizzato FG safety interlock switch series, it combines guard position monitoring with mechanical locking for dependable machine safety and industrial automation applications.

Featuring a durable metal housing and IP67 protection rating, the FG 60AD1E3A-F28 is suitable for demanding industrial environments where reliable guard monitoring and secure locking are required. The switch incorporates a rotating head for flexible actuator approach and three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries for practical installation and wiring.

This model uses the E working principle, with the actuator locked when the solenoid is energised, and features a 12 V DC solenoid supply. Its contact unit provides 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid, enabling independent monitoring of guard and lock status. The -F28 version is supplied with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator for installation on machine guards and safety doors.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Safety interlock switches with guard locking are used on machinery where access must be controlled while hazardous movement or processes are present. The Pizzato FG series combines detection of the guard position with mechanical locking, allowing the machine safety circuit to monitor both the position of the separate actuator and the state of the locking mechanism.

The FG 60AD1E3A-F28 uses a power-to-lock configuration, meaning the actuator is mechanically secured when the 12 V DC solenoid is energised. Its metal construction, positive-opening contacts, 3000 N holding force and IP67 enclosure make it well suited to industrial machinery requiring durable and dependable guard access control.
