Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60DD6D3A-F28 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60DD6D3A-F28 is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for protecting access doors, guards and hazardous machine areas. As part of the industrial Pizzato FG series, it combines positive-opening safety contacts, mechanical guard locking and dedicated release functions for demanding machinery safety applications.
This configuration uses Pizzato's principle D, meaning the actuator remains locked while the solenoid is de-energised. It incorporates 2NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid, providing separate monitoring of guard position and locking status within a machine safety circuit.
The FG 60DD6D3A-F28 features a heavy-duty metal housing, IP67 protection, three M20 × 1.5 conduit entries and a rotating head with key release and escape release pushbutton. This version operates from a 12 V DC solenoid supply, includes two green indication LEDs and is supplied complete with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator.
Key Advantages
- Industrial safety interlock switch with mechanical guard locking.
- De-energise-to-lock operating principle helps retain the guard if solenoid power is removed.

- Three threaded M20 × 1.5 conduit entries.
- IP67 protection according to EN 60529 when correctly installed.
Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches with guard locking help prevent access to hazardous machine areas until the safety control system determines that entry is permitted. The separate actuator is installed on the movable guard, while the switch body monitors both the actuator position and the state of the locking mechanism.
The Pizzato FG series is engineered for industrial machinery where robust mechanical construction, positive-opening contacts and dependable guard retention are required. The FG 60DD6D3A-F28 also provides key-assisted release and an escape release pushbutton, supporting safer maintenance access and emergency exit from guarded machinery areas.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety doors and movable guards.
- Robotic manufacturing cells.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machinery requiring monitored guard locking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FG 60DD6D3A-F28 used for?
It is used to monitor and mechanically lock machine guards, doors and access panels so that hazardous machinery can be isolated from personnel while unsafe conditions remain present.
How does the locking mechanism operate?
The FG 60DD6D3A-F28 uses principle D operation, meaning the actuator is locked while the solenoid is de-energised and released when the appropriate solenoid control is applied.
What contact configuration does this safety switch have?
It has 2NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid for monitoring guard and locking status.
Does the FG 60DD6D3A-F28 include an actuator?
Yes. This -F28 version is supplied complete with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator.
What protection rating does this switch provide?
The metal FG series housing provides an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529 when installed using cable glands of an equal or higher protection rating.
