FS 1896D024-F3 Pizzato FS series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D024-F3 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FS1896D024-F3 is a high reliability safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking, designed for industrial machinery where safe access control is essential. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that protective guards remain securely locked until safe operating conditions are achieved.

Manufactured with a robust technopolymer housing, this switch is engineered for long term durability in demanding environments. Its integrated solenoid locking mechanism prevents access to hazardous zones during machine operation, helping maintain operator safety and compliance with modern machinery safety standards.

This version features a jointed actuator adjustable in two directions, allowing flexible alignment in complex installations. It operates on a 24 V AC/DC supply and includes a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration actuated by the solenoid. The device uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised, ensuring fail safe operation.

Key Advantages

• Guard locking safety switch for controlled access to hazardous machinery.
• Jointed actuator allows flexible installation and alignment.
• D working method ensures fail safe locking when power is removed.
• 1 NO + 1 NC contacts for flexible safety circuit integration.
• IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
• Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.

Key Features

• 1 NO + 1 NC solenoid driven contacts.
• 24 V AC/DC operating voltage.
• Rotating head for versatile mounting orientation.
• Positive opening contacts for safety compliance.
• Three PG13.5 conduit entries for flexible wiring.

Advanced Guard Locking for Industrial Safety

Safety interlock switches with guard locking, such as the FS1896D024-F3, are essential in applications where hazardous motion must be fully stopped before access is permitted. The solenoid locking mechanism ensures that guards cannot be opened during operation, significantly reducing risk to operators.

The D working principle ensures fail safe behaviour by keeping the actuator locked when power is removed. This provides an additional layer of protection during emergency stops or power failures, ensuring machinery cannot be accessed until it is safe.

Typical Applications

• Machine guard doors requiring controlled access.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Automated production lines.
• Robotic cells and hazardous zones.
• Material handling and conveyor systems.
• Safety interlock systems in industrial environments.
