FG 60FD7D0A-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60FD7D0A-F28 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60FD7D0A-F28 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 independent monitoring of guard and lock status within a robust metal enclosure.

This model uses Pizzato's D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked while the solenoid is de-energised. The 60F contact block provides 1NO + 2NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 1NO contact operated by the solenoid, while the rotating head incorporates an escape release pushbutton for applications where personnel may enter the guarded area.

The FG 60FD7D0A-F28 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and features 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 -F28 configuration is supplied with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator for flexible alignment on movable guards and safety doors.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid guard locking.
• De-energise-to-lock operation mechanically retains the actuator when the solenoid is not powered.
• Rotating head with escape release pushbutton for release from inside a guarded area.
• 1NO + 2NC actuator contacts and 1NO solenoid contact provide guard and locking-system monitoring.
• Maximum locking force of up to 3000 N for secure guard retention.
• Supplied with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator for flexible machine-guard alignment.

Reliable Guard Locking with Escape Release

Guard-locking safety switches are used where movable guards must remain secured until hazardous machine conditions have ended. The FG 60FD7D0A-F28 uses a de-energise-to-lock mechanism to mechanically retain the actuator, while its separate contact circuits allow the machinery safety system to monitor the position of the guard and the condition of the locking mechanism.

The integrated escape release pushbutton provides an important additional safety function where personnel may enter a protected machine area. Combined with a locking force of up to 3000 N, positive-opening contacts, IP67 metal construction and the supplied universal actuator, the FG 60FD7D0A-F28 provides a versatile solution for demanding industrial guard-locking applications.

Typical Applications

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