Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60FD5D3A-F28 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60FD5D3A-F28 is an FG series safety switch with solenoid lock and separate actuator designed for monitoring and locking protective guards on industrial machinery. It combines mechanical guard retention with dedicated electrical contacts for actuator and solenoid monitoring, making it suitable for controlled-access machine safety applications.
This configuration uses the D working principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the electromagnet is de-energised. The contact arrangement comprises 1NO contact operated by the actuator and 1NO+2NC contacts operated by the electromagnet, with slow-action operation and positive opening for safety-related switching.
The FG 60FD5D3A-F28 features a rotating head with key-operated auxiliary release, a 12 V DC electromagnet supply and two green LEDs illuminated by the electromagnet supply. It is supplied complete with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator and uses a robust metal enclosure with three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67 protection.
Key Advantages
- D working principle retains the actuator when the electromagnet is de-energised.

Reliable & Durable Guard-Locking Protection
The FG 60FD5D3A-F28 is designed for machine guarding applications where reliable actuator retention and monitored access are required. Its D operating principle keeps the actuator locked while the electromagnet is de-energised, while separate actuator and electromagnet contacts provide the machine safety circuit with the switching functions needed to monitor the interlock.
With a 3000 N locking force, metal enclosure, IP67 ingress protection and positive-opening contacts, this configuration is engineered for demanding industrial installations. The key-operated auxiliary release and universal F28 actuator further improve installation and servicing flexibility for machine builders and automation engineers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors.
- Automated production machinery.
- Robotic cell guarding.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling machinery.
- OEM equipment requiring de-energised-solenoid guard locking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Pizzato FG 60FD5D3A-F28 lock the actuator?
The FG 60FD5D3A-F28 uses the D working principle, meaning the separate actuator is locked when the electromagnet is de-energised.
What contacts does the FG 60FD5D3A-F28 have?
It provides 1NO contact operated by the actuator and 1NO+2NC contacts operated by the electromagnet, giving a total of two normally open and two normally closed contacts.
What actuator is supplied with the FG 60FD5D3A-F28?
The switch is supplied complete with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator, designed to accommodate a range of guard alignment and approach requirements.
Does the FG 60FD5D3A-F28 have an auxiliary release?
Yes. This configuration has a rotating head with key-operated auxiliary release. It does not incorporate an emergency escape release.
What voltage and status indication does the FG 60FD5D3A-F28 use?
The electromagnet operates from 12 V DC, and the switch incorporates two green LEDs illuminated by the electromagnet supply.
