FG 60BD6D0A-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD6D0A-F28 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60BD6D0A-F28 is a robust safety switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator designed for monitoring and locking machine guards, doors and access points in industrial safety systems. As part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines mechanical guard detection with an electromagnetic locking function to help prevent access to hazardous machine areas until safe conditions are established.

The switch uses the principle D operating method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. Its metal housing, positive-opening safety contacts and IP67 protection rating make it suitable for demanding machinery and automation environments where dependable guard monitoring is essential.

The FG 60BD6D0A-F28 features a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, a contact arrangement comprising 1NO + 1NC actuator-operated contacts and 2NC solenoid-operated contacts, and a locking force of 3000 N. This version also incorporates a rotating head with key-operated release and panic release button and is supplied complete with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator.

Key Advantages

• Industrial guard safety switch with solenoid locking.
• Principle D operation keeps the actuator locked with the solenoid de-energised.

• Two green LEDs switched by the solenoid power supply.
• Positive-opening contact operation.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Solenoid-locking safety switches monitor the position of movable machine guards while providing a mechanical locking function that helps prevent the guard from being opened at an unsafe point in the operating cycle. This is particularly important on machinery where hazardous movement or stored energy may remain after a stop command has been issued.

The Pizzato FG series combines robust mechanical construction, positive-opening contacts and guard locking in a single industrial safety device. The de-energised locking principle of the FG 60BD6D0A-F28 makes it suitable for applications where the guard is required to remain mechanically locked if power to the solenoid is removed.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors and access gates.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
• Robotic cells and hazardous work areas.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Industrial machinery requiring guard locking until hazardous movement has stopped.
