Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD5D0A-F21 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?
The Pizzato FG 60BD5D0A-F21 is an FG series safety switch with solenoid-operated guard locking and separate actuator, designed for monitoring and locking movable guards on industrial machinery. It combines guard-position detection and lock-status monitoring in a robust metal-bodied device for safety-related machine access applications.
This configuration uses the D5D operating principle, with the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised and an auxiliary key release provided for authorised manual unlocking. The contact arrangement comprises 2NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid, enabling both guard and locking status to be monitored.
The FG 60BD5D0A-F21 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, incorporates two green LEDs switched by the solenoid power supply and is supplied with the VF KEYF21 right-angled actuator. Its metal enclosure provides three M20 × 1.5 cable entries and IP67 protection for dependable installation on industrial machinery.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard monitoring and solenoid-operated guard locking in one device.
- Power-to-unlock principle keeps the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised.

Power-to-Unlock Guard Protection with Status Monitoring
The D5D operating principle used by the FG 60BD5D0A-F21 keeps the separate actuator mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised. This power-to-unlock arrangement is suitable for machine-safety applications where the guard should remain retained until the control system intentionally energises the unlocking mechanism.
Separate contact sets monitor the actuator and solenoid mechanisms, allowing the safety control architecture to obtain information about both guard position and locking state. The supplied VF KEYF21 right-angled actuator provides an alternative mounting geometry to a straight actuator, while the rotating switch head further assists installation on different guard arrangements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard locking.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing machinery.
- Guard doors requiring monitored locking.
- Machinery requiring power-to-unlock guard protection.
- OEM equipment and integrated machine-safety systems.
