FG 60AD5D3B-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60AD5D3B-F28 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?

The Pizzato FG 60AD5D3B-F28 is a heavy-duty FG Series safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid-operated guard locking designed for monitoring and retaining protective guards on industrial machinery. It combines guard-position detection, mechanical locking and positive-opening safety operation in a robust metal enclosure.

This configuration uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. The switch operates with a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and provides a 3NC contact block operated by the actuator together with 1NC contact operated by the solenoid, supporting detailed monitoring of guard and locking states.

The FG 60AD5D3B-F28 incorporates a rotating head with escape pushbutton and the F28 universal actuator configuration. Its metal housing provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 when correctly installed and includes three M20 × 1.5 cable entries, making it suitable for demanding industrial machinery and automation installations.

Key Advantages

• Combines guard-position monitoring and mechanical guard locking in one industrial safety switch.
• De-energised-solenoid locking retains the actuator when solenoid power is removed.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits common industrial control systems.
• 3NC actuator contacts plus 1NC solenoid contact provide comprehensive safety and lock-status monitoring.
• Positive-opening operation supports dependable safety-related switching.
• Rotating head with escape pushbutton provides an additional means of releasing the guard from inside the protected area.
• F28 universal actuator provides flexibility for guards with alignment variations.
• Rugged IP67 metal housing for demanding machinery environments.

Reliable Guard Locking with Escape Release

The Pizzato FG 60AD5D3B-F28 is designed for machinery where a protective guard must remain mechanically retained until the safety system permits access. With the D working method, the actuator is locked while the solenoid is de-energised, while dedicated actuator and solenoid contacts enable an appropriately designed control system to supervise guard and locking conditions.

The rotating head incorporates an escape pushbutton, an important feature for guarding arrangements where personnel may enter the protected area. Combined with the versatile F28 actuator, positive-opening contacts and robust IP67 metal enclosure, this configuration provides a comprehensive solution for demanding industrial guard-locking applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards requiring mechanical locking.
• Guarded areas where an internal escape release is required.
• Safety gates and protective access doors.
• Robotic and automated manufacturing cells.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material-handling systems.
• OEM machinery and industrial automation installations.
