FG 60FD6D0A-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60FD6D0A-F28 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60FD6D0A-F28 is a heavy-duty FG series safety switch with solenoid guard locking and separate universal actuator, designed for monitoring and locking movable guards on industrial machinery. Its robust metal housing, high mechanical holding force and multiple safety contacts make it suitable for applications where access to hazardous machine areas must remain restricted until safe conditions have been established.

This configuration uses the D6D operating principle, with the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised and incorporating both a lock release device and anti-panic escape release pushbutton. This power-to-unlock arrangement helps maintain guard locking if electrical power is lost, while the release functions provide additional flexibility for maintenance and personnel safety.

The FG 60FD6D0A-F28 operates with a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and uses a slow-action contact block providing 1NO + 2NC actuator-operated contacts and 1NO solenoid-operated contact. This model is supplied with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator, which can be adjusted for doors with alignment variations, while the metal enclosure and IP67 protection rating provide durability for demanding industrial environments.

Heavy-Duty Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Safety switches with solenoid locking are used where simply detecting whether a machine guard is open or closed is insufficient. The Pizzato FG series combines guard position monitoring with mechanical locking, helping prevent a guard from being opened while hazardous movement, stored energy or another dangerous machine condition remains present.

The FG 60FD6D0A-F28 uses a de-energise-to-lock principle, so the actuator remains mechanically locked without power to the solenoid and is released when the appropriate electrical unlocking command is provided. The integrated lock release and anti-panic release functions provide additional means of releasing the mechanism where required, while the VF KEYF28 universal actuator offers adjustment for guards where precise alignment can be difficult to maintain.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards and interlocked access doors.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
• Machinery with hazardous residual movement or run-down time.
• Guarded areas requiring anti-panic escape release functionality.
