FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for controlling access to hazardous areas around industrial machinery. Part of the established Pizzato FG safety switch series, it combines mechanical guard locking with separate guard-position and lock-status contacts for dependable machine safety applications.

Featuring a durable metal housing, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529 when correctly installed with a suitably rated cable gland, the FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its rotating head incorporates an auxiliary lock release, providing additional flexibility for commissioning, maintenance and machine access procedures.

The FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked while the solenoid is de-energised, and operates from a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply. Its 60B contact block provides 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid, giving 1NO + 3NC contacts in total. The Z configuration is supplied without LED indication, while the F28 version includes the versatile VF KEYF28 universal actuator.

Reliable Guard Locking with a Universal Actuator

Safety interlock switches with guard locking are used where access to hazardous machinery must remain controlled until the machine safety system permits entry. The Pizzato FG series combines separate-actuator guard detection with solenoid-operated mechanical locking, allowing the safety circuit to monitor both the position of the movable guard and the condition of its locking mechanism.

The FG 60BD1D1Z-F28 combines de-energise-to-lock operation with an auxiliary lock release and the flexible VF KEYF28 universal actuator. The universal actuator can accommodate applications where guard alignment or movement makes a conventional straight actuator less suitable, while the metal switch housing and IP67 protection provide a robust solution for demanding industrial machinery.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards and safety doors.
• Hinged and sliding machine guarding.
• Robotic cells and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Machine tools and processing machinery.
• Guard installations requiring a universal actuator.
• OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
