FG 61CD5D0A Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG61CD5D0A Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FG61CD5D0A is a robust FG series safety interlock switch with separate actuator and guard locking, designed for secure access control on industrial machinery, safeguarded machine doors and automated production equipment. Manufactured by Pizzato Elettrica, it combines a durable metal enclosure with a solenoid-controlled locking mechanism for reliable integration into machine safety systems.

This safety switch is intended for applications where access to hazardous machine areas must be controlled until machinery has reached a safe condition. The separate actuator design allows the switch body to be mounted to the fixed machine frame while a compatible actuator is fitted to the moving guard, supporting reliable monitoring of hinged doors, sliding guards, covers and access panels.

With IP67 protection, three M20 x 1.5 conduit entries, 24 V AC/DC solenoid power, 3NO + 1NC actuator-operated contacts, integrated key release and two green LED indicators, the FG61CD5D0A is a dependable choice for machine builders, panel builders and maintenance teams requiring robust guard locking with multiple signalling contacts and local status indication.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty FG series guard locking safety switch for industrial machine safety.
• Metal housing for robust mechanical protection in demanding environments.
• IP67 ingress protection when installed with correctly rated cable glands.
• 3NO + 1NC actuator-operated contacts for guard position monitoring and control feedback.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suitable for common industrial control systems.
• Key release device for authorised auxiliary unlocking.
• Two green LEDs switched by the solenoid power supply for local status indication.

Key Features

• Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator and lock.
• Operating principle D, with locked actuator when the solenoid is de-energised.
• 61C contact block with three normally open and one normally closed actuator-operated contacts.
• Key release device for authorised auxiliary unlocking when required.
• Slow-action contact block for controlled safety circuit operation.
• Three M20 x 1.5 threaded conduit entries for flexible field wiring.
• Positive-opening contact design for safety-related switching.
• Supplied without actuator, allowing the correct actuator to be selected separately.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machine Safety

Guard locking safety switches help prevent unsafe access to hazardous machine areas while machinery is still moving, coasting down or presenting a residual risk. The Pizzato FG61CD5D0A supports this requirement by combining mechanical guard locking with actuator-operated contacts for machine control feedback and safety-related monitoring.

The D operating principle keeps the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised, making it suitable for applications where the guard should remain locked until the control system energises the solenoid to release it. Its metal housing, IP67 rating and industrial wiring layout make it suitable for production machinery, automated equipment and safeguarded access points where clear local indication is required.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors and access panels.
• Automated production machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Robotic cells and safeguarded access zones.
• Conveyor systems and material handling machinery.
• Industrial equipment requiring guard locking with multiple NO signalling contacts.
