FG 60GD6D0A-T6 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60GD6D0A-T6 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?

The Pizzato FG 60GD6D0A-T6 is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for monitoring and securing protective guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. As part of the established Pizzato FG Series, it combines mechanical guard position detection with solenoid-operated locking to provide dependable protection in demanding machine safety and automation applications.

The FG 60GD6D0A-T6 features a durable metal housing with IP67 protection according to EN 60529 when installed with a suitably rated cable gland. Its rotating operating head incorporates both an auxiliary lock release and escape release pushbutton, providing additional release functionality for guarded machinery where personnel access and emergency egress must be considered.

This model uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. A 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, 2NC actuator-controlled contacts, 2NC solenoid-controlled contacts and two green LED indicators provide comprehensive guard and lock monitoring, while the T6 configuration is designed for extended low-temperature industrial applications.

Key Advantages

• Industrial safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking.
• D working method keeps the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised.
• 2NC actuator-controlled and 2NC solenoid-controlled contacts for guard and lock monitoring.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suitable for industrial safety and control systems.
• Rotating head with auxiliary lock release and escape release pushbutton.
• Two green LEDs provide visual indication when the solenoid supply is energised.
• High actuator holding force of approximately 3000 N.
• Rugged metal housing with IP67 protection for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Safety interlock switches with guard locking are used where protective guards must remain secured while hazardous machinery conditions are present. The Pizzato FG Series combines separate-actuator position monitoring with solenoid-operated locking, enabling a machine safety system to monitor both the position of the guard and the state of its locking mechanism.

The FG 60GD6D0A-T6 uses a de-energised-solenoid locking principle, helping keep the actuator mechanically locked when solenoid power is removed. Its auxiliary release, escape pushbutton, positive-opening contacts and independent actuator and solenoid monitoring contacts make it particularly suitable for guarded machinery requiring comprehensive access control and emergency release functionality.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards and safety doors.
• Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
• Guarded machinery requiring auxiliary and escape release functions.
• Industrial equipment operating in demanding low-temperature environments.
