FG 60BD1E0A-F21 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD1E0A-F21 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60BD1E0A-F21 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid guard locking and separate angled actuator designed for controlled access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines mechanical guard locking with dedicated electrical contacts for monitoring both guard position and locking status.

This model uses the E working method, meaning the actuator is locked while the solenoid is energised. Its slow-action contact system provides 1 NO + 1 NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid, giving an overall arrangement of 1 NO + 3 NC contacts with positive-opening operation.

The FG 60BD1E0A-F21 operates from a 24 V AC/DC supply and incorporates two green LEDs switched by the solenoid power supply. Its robust metal housing provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and three M20 × 1.5 cable entries, while the F21 configuration is supplied complete with the Pizzato VF KEYF21 angled actuator.

Reliable Energised-Solenoid Guard Locking

The E working method makes the FG 60BD1E0A-F21 suitable for machinery where a protective guard needs to remain mechanically retained while the locking solenoid is powered. The separate actuator engages with the switch when the guard closes, while dedicated actuator and solenoid contacts allow the safety control system to monitor both guard position and locking status.

The supplied VF KEYF21 angled actuator provides an alternative mounting geometry to a straight actuator, helping machine builders accommodate different guard arrangements. Combined with positive-opening contacts, a rotating head, robust metal construction and IP67 protection, the FG 60BD1E0A-F21 provides a durable solution for industrial machine guarding.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guard doors and access gates.
• Robotic cells and fenced automation systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Machinery requiring energised-solenoid guard locking and an angled actuator arrangement.
