FG 60GD7E0A-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60GD7E0A-F28 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60GD7E0A-F28 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator designed to control access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines a durable metal housing, positive-opening safety contacts and controlled guard locking for dependable machine safety applications.

This model uses the E operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. Its contact unit incorporates 2 NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid, providing dedicated monitoring of guard position and locking status for integration into machine safety circuits.

The FG 60GD7E0A-F28 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and features an IP67-rated metal housing with three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries. The F28 configuration includes an orientable head with panic release and a VF KEYF28 universal actuator, while two green LEDs provide clear indication of solenoid supply status.

Reliable Guard Locking with Panic Release

Safety interlock switches with solenoid locking are used where access to hazardous machine areas must be controlled until the safety system permits a guard to be opened. The FG 60GD7E0A-F28 separately monitors the position of the actuator and the condition of the solenoid-operated locking mechanism, supporting reliable integration into industrial safety circuits.

The energised-solenoid locking principle allows the actuator to be mechanically retained when the solenoid is powered. The F28 panic release provides an additional means of releasing the guard from the protected side, making this configuration particularly suitable for guarded machinery and enclosed automation cells where personnel access may be required.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guard doors and access gates.
• Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Guarded machinery requiring panic release functionality.
