FG 60ED7D0Z-LP60 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60ED7D0Z-LP60 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60ED7D0Z-LP60 is a robust FG series safety switch with solenoid guard locking and separate actuator, designed for monitoring and controlling access to hazardous areas on industrial machinery. It uses Principle D operation, meaning the actuator is locked when the electromagnet is de-energised, making it suitable for applications where a guard must remain secured until the machinery has reached a safe condition.

This configuration incorporates 1NC contact operated by the actuator together with 1NO+2NC contacts operated by the electromagnet. This arrangement enables the associated machine safety system to monitor both guard position and locking status, while positive-opening operation supports dependable safety-related switching.

Operating from a 24 V AC/DC supply, the FG 60ED7D0Z-LP60 combines a rotating head with escape-release functionality, a heavy-duty metal enclosure and three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries. The switch is supplied without an actuator, allowing a compatible Pizzato separate actuator to be selected to suit the particular guard arrangement.

Key Advantages

• Solenoid-operated guard locking for machinery requiring controlled access to hazardous areas.
• Principle D operation keeps the actuator locked when the electromagnet is de-energised.
• 1NC actuator contact plus 1NO+2NC electromagnet contacts provide guard and lock monitoring.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits common industrial machine-control systems.
• Positive-opening safety contact operation supports safety-related applications.
• Maximum actuator holding force of up to 2,800 N.
• Escape-release functionality provides an additional means of releasing the guard from the protected area.
• Rugged IP67 metal housing provides dependable protection in demanding industrial environments.

Controlled Access with De-Energised Solenoid Guard Locking

Guard-locking safety switches are used where simply detecting that a protective guard has opened is not sufficient to control the risk. Machinery with hazardous run-down times or processes that remain dangerous after a stop command can require the guard to remain mechanically locked until the safety control system determines that access is permitted.

The Pizzato FG 60ED7D0Z-LP60 uses Principle D locking, keeping the separate actuator locked while the electromagnet is de-energised. Independent contacts for the actuator and electromagnet allow the control system to monitor both guard position and lock state, while the 2,800 N maximum holding force provides robust mechanical retention for industrial machine guards.

Typical Applications

• Guard locking on automated production machinery.
• Robotic cells and perimeter safety doors.
• Machinery with hazardous run-down times.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
• Assembly and material handling machinery.
• Hinged and sliding industrial safety guards.
• OEM machinery requiring monitored guard locking.
