FG 61RD1D0Z Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG 61RD1D0Z Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FG 61RD1D0Z is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid locking designed for guard monitoring and controlled access on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines a durable metal housing, positive-opening safety contacts and mechanical guard locking for dependable protection around hazardous machine areas.

This model uses Pizzato's D operating principle, meaning the actuator remains mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised. Its slow-action contact unit provides 1NO + 3NC contacts operated by the solenoid, allowing the locking state to be incorporated into the machine control and safety system. An auxiliary release provides a means of manually releasing the locking mechanism when required.

With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection and a metal enclosure with three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, the FG 61RD1D0Z is designed for demanding industrial environments. This configuration is supplied without an actuator, allowing the appropriate compatible FG series actuator to be selected for the specific machine guard arrangement.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with mechanical guard locking.
• Power-to-unlock operating principle keeps the actuator locked when the solenoid is de-energised.
• 1NO + 3NC slow-action contact configuration for machine control and safety monitoring.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suitable for common industrial control systems.
• IP67 protection for dependable use in demanding industrial environments.
• Integrated auxiliary release and rotating head for installation flexibility.

Reliable Guard Interlocking for Industrial Machinery

Safety switches with guard locking such as the Pizzato FG series are designed to monitor movable guards while helping prevent access to hazardous machine areas until the locking mechanism has been released. The FG 61RD1D0Z uses a power-to-unlock arrangement, so the separate actuator remains mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised.

The combination of positive-opening contacts, auxiliary release, robust metal construction and IP67 enclosure protection makes this switch suitable for safety-related industrial machinery. Its rotating head and separate actuator architecture provide flexibility when installing the switch on hinged, sliding or removable machine guards.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors and safety access gates.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
• Conveyor and material handling machinery.
• Industrial machinery requiring guards to remain locked while hazardous conditions are present.
