FG 60FD7E0B-LP60 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60FD7E0B-LP60 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60FD7E0B-LP60 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for monitoring and securing guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines mechanical guard locking, positive-opening safety contacts and a robust metal housing for demanding machine safety applications.

This configuration uses the D7E operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked while the solenoid is energised, and incorporates an escape release button for release from inside a safeguarded area. Its 60F contact block provides 1NO contact operated by the actuator together with 1NO+2NC contacts operated by the solenoid, providing separate signals for guard position and locking status.

The FG 60FD7E0B-LP60 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and features one red and one green freely configurable LED for local status indication. Its IP67 metal housing, three M20 × 1.5 cable entries and rotating head provide installation flexibility, while the LP60 extended escape release is designed for guard or enclosure wall thicknesses up to 60 mm. This configuration is supplied without an actuator.

Energised Guard Locking with Extended Escape Release

Safety interlock switches with solenoid locking are used where machinery requires both guard position monitoring and controlled access to hazardous areas. The Pizzato FG series combines a separate mechanical actuator with a locking mechanism and dedicated electrical contacts, allowing an appropriate machine safety system to monitor the guard position and lock status before hazardous machine functions are permitted.

The FG 60FD7E0B-LP60 combines energised-solenoid locking with an internal escape release, making it particularly suitable for enclosed machinery and safeguarded areas where personnel may require a means of releasing the guard from inside. The LP60 version extends the escape release for installations through guarding up to 60 mm thick, while the rotating head provides additional flexibility when adapting the switch to different machine layouts.

Typical Applications

• Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
• Industrial machine guards and access doors.
• Safeguarded areas requiring an internal escape release.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Hinged and sliding safety guards.
• OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
