FG 60FD7D0A-F21 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60FD7D0A-F21 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60FD7D0A-F21 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed to protect access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines mechanical guard retention, positive-opening safety contacts and dedicated monitoring of the guard and locking mechanism within a robust metal enclosure.

This model uses Pizzato's D7D operating principle, with the actuator locked while the solenoid is de-energised and an escape release pushbutton incorporated into the rotating head. The 60F contact block provides 1NO contact operated by the actuator together with 1NO + 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid, enabling separate monitoring of guard position and locking status.

The FG 60FD7D0A-F21 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and includes two green LEDs switched by the solenoid power supply. Its metal housing provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and three M20 × 1.5 cable entries, while the -F21 configuration is supplied with the Pizzato VF KEYF21 angled actuator for convenient installation on machine guards and safety doors.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid guard locking.
• D7D de-energise-to-lock operation keeps the actuator mechanically retained without solenoid power.
• Rotating head with escape release pushbutton for emergency release from inside a guarded area.
• 1NO actuator contact and 1NO + 2NC solenoid contacts provide separate guard and lock-status monitoring.
• Robust metal housing with IP67 protection for demanding industrial environments.
• Supplied with the VF KEYF21 angled actuator for practical machine-guard installation.

Reliable Guard Locking with Escape Release

Guard-locking safety switches are used where a movable machine guard must remain secured until hazardous machine conditions have ended. The FG 60FD7D0A-F21 uses a de-energise-to-lock mechanism to retain the actuator mechanically, while its separate contact circuits allow the machine safety system to monitor both actuator position and the state of the solenoid-controlled locking mechanism.

The integrated escape release pushbutton provides an important additional function for applications where personnel may enter the protected area. Combined with the rotating head, positive-opening contacts, robust metal construction and supplied angled actuator, the FG 60FD7D0A-F21 provides a versatile guard-locking solution for modern industrial machinery.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine safety doors and movable guards.
• Robotic manufacturing and automation cells.
• Machinery with personnel-accessible guarded areas.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Automated assembly and production equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
