FG 60BD7E0Z-LP40 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD7E0Z-LP40 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?

The Pizzato FG 60BD7E0Z-LP40 is an FG series safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking, designed for monitoring movable guards and controlling access to hazardous machinery. Its robust metal construction, positive-opening safety contacts and dedicated guard-lock monitoring make it suitable for demanding industrial machine-safety installations.

This configuration uses an energised-to-lock operating principle, meaning the actuator is mechanically locked when the solenoid is energised. The locking solenoid operates from a 24 V AC/DC supply, while 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid enable separate monitoring of guard position and locking status.

The switch incorporates an escape release arrangement for applications where personnel may enter a guarded area. The LP40 metal escape-release button is intended for installation through guarding with a wall thickness from 30 mm to 40 mm. The Z configuration is supplied without integrated LEDs, while the metal housing, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67 protection according to EN 60529 support reliable use in industrial environments.

Key Advantages

• Energised-to-lock operation provides electrically controlled mechanical retention of the machine guard.
• Escape release functionality provides a means of releasing the locking mechanism from inside a guarded area.
• LP40 metal release button accommodates wall thicknesses from 30 mm to 40 mm.
• 1NO + 1NC actuator contacts and 2NC solenoid contacts enable separate monitoring of guard and locking states.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits widely used industrial safety-control systems.
• Positive-opening contact functionality supports dependable safety-circuit operation.
• Heavy-duty metal construction and IP67 protection suit demanding machinery environments.

Reliable Guard Locking with Escape Release

The FG 60BD7E0Z-LP40 is designed for machinery where electrically controlled mechanical retention of a protective guard is required. When the solenoid is energised, the separate actuator is retained by the locking mechanism. Independent actuator-operated and solenoid-operated contacts allow the machine safety system to supervise both the position of the guard and the state of the guard lock.

For guarded areas that personnel may enter, the escape-release arrangement provides an important means of releasing the locking mechanism from the protected side. The LP40 version extends the release control through guarding from 30 mm to 40 mm thick, while the robust FG metal enclosure and IP67 protection support reliable installation on industrial machinery.

Typical Applications

• Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
• Industrial machine safety doors and access gates.
• Personnel-access guarded areas.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material-handling systems.
• Production machinery requiring guard-lock status monitoring.
• Machine guards requiring an internal escape-release facility.
