FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 is a heavy-duty FG Series safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking, designed for monitoring and controlling access to hazardous areas in industrial machinery. It combines mechanical guard position monitoring, positive-opening safety contacts and controlled guard locking in a robust industrial safety device.

Built around a durable metal housing, the FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 when correctly installed and features three M20 × 1.5 cable entries for flexible machine wiring. Its orientable head supports different actuator entry directions, while the -F28 configuration is supplied with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator for versatile machine guard installation.

The FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 uses an energised-to-lock operating principle, meaning the actuator is mechanically locked when its 24 V AC/DC solenoid is energised. Its 60P contact block provides 3NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NC contact operated by the solenoid. The D7E configuration also incorporates an escape release button, while the Z option specifies a version without integrated LED indication.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking.
• Energised-to-lock operation mechanically locks the actuator when the solenoid is energised.
• 3NC actuator contacts + 1NC solenoid contact support separate monitoring of guard position and locking status.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply is compatible with common industrial machine control systems.
• Integrated escape release button provides a means of releasing the locking mechanism from inside a protected area.
• IP67 metal housing provides robust environmental protection for demanding industrial applications.
• VF KEYF28 universal actuator included for flexible guard alignment and installation.
• Orientable head supports different actuator approach directions.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Safety interlock switches with guard locking such as the Pizzato FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 are designed for machinery where access to hazardous areas needs to be controlled through both guard position monitoring and mechanical locking. When the VF KEYF28 universal actuator enters the switch head, the safety system can monitor the position of the guard while the solenoid-operated mechanism controls whether the actuator is mechanically retained.

The FG 60PD7E0Z-F28 uses an energised-to-lock configuration, so electrical power is applied to the solenoid to maintain the locked state. Its combination of three actuator-operated NC contacts, one solenoid-operated NC contact, positive-opening operation and an escape release button makes it particularly suitable for guarded machinery cells and access areas where both reliable guard monitoring and an internal means of release are required.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors and access panels.
• Industrial safety gates and perimeter guarding.
• Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyors and material handling machinery.
• Guarded areas requiring an internal escape release.
• OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
