FG 60PD7E0Z-LP40 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60PD7E0Z-LP40 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 60PD7E0Z-LP40 is an industrial FG series safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking, designed for monitoring and controlling access to hazardous areas on machinery. Its robust metal construction and monitored locking arrangement make it suitable for guards that must remain secured until the machine safety system permits access.

This configuration uses D7E operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. The orientable head incorporates an escape release button, providing a mechanical means of releasing the guard from within a protected area when the switch is correctly installed as part of a machine safety system.

The 60P slow-action contact block provides 3NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NC contact operated by the solenoid. The switch uses a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and this Z signalling configuration is supplied without LEDs. The LP40 release configuration is intended for installations through guards or walls up to 40 mm thick.

Key Advantages

• Industrial safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking.
• Energise-to-lock D7E operating principle for applications requiring powered guard locking.

Energise-to-Lock Guard Protection with Escape Release

Guard-locking safety switches are used where machinery requires controlled access to a hazardous area. In addition to detecting the position of a separate actuator, the locking mechanism mechanically retains the actuator so that the guard can remain secured according to the operating state of the machine safety system.

The FG 60PD7E0Z-LP40 uses an energise-to-lock principle, with the actuator retained while the solenoid is powered. Its three actuator-operated NC contacts provide guard position monitoring, while the additional solenoid-operated NC contact monitors the locking mechanism. The integrated escape release and LP40 configuration provide a release solution for guarded areas with wall thicknesses up to 40 mm.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards and interlocked access doors.
• Robotic cells and enclosed automated manufacturing systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Guarded machinery requiring energise-to-lock access control.
• Protected areas requiring an internal escape release function.
