FG 60GD5D2A-T6 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60GD5D2A-T6 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60GD5D2A-T6 is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid locking designed for guard monitoring and interlocking on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines a durable metal housing, positive-opening safety contacts and a mechanical guard lock for dependable protection of hazardous machine areas.

This model uses Pizzato's D operating principle, keeping the actuator mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised. An auxiliary key release provides controlled manual unlocking when required, while the rotating head allows the switch to be adapted to different guard entry directions. The four normally closed contacts comprise 2NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid.

With a 230 V AC solenoid supply, IP67 protection and an extended -40 °C to +60 °C ambient temperature range provided by the T6 option, the FG 60GD5D2A-T6 is well suited to demanding industrial environments. Its metal enclosure includes three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and two green LED indicators powered with the solenoid supply.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with mechanical guard locking.

Reliable Guard Interlocking for Industrial Machinery

Safety switches with guard locking such as the Pizzato FG series monitor the position of movable machine guards while preventing access to hazardous areas until the locking mechanism has been released. The FG 60GD5D2A-T6 uses a power-to-unlock arrangement, meaning the actuator remains mechanically locked when electrical power to the solenoid is removed.

The combination of positive-opening contacts, separate monitoring of the actuator and solenoid, high mechanical holding force and auxiliary key release makes this switch suitable for machinery where guard access must be carefully controlled. Its metal construction, IP67 protection and extended T6 temperature range support dependable operation in harsh production environments.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors and access gates.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
• Conveyor and material handling machinery.
• Industrial equipment requiring guard locking until hazardous movement has stopped.
