FS 1896D024-F3M2 Pizzato FS series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D024-F3M2 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FS1896D024-F3M2 is a high performance safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking, engineered for industrial machinery where controlled access and operator safety are critical. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety guards remain securely locked until safe operating conditions are achieved.

Built with a durable technopolymer housing, this safety switch is designed for long term reliability in demanding industrial environments. Its integrated solenoid locking mechanism prevents access to hazardous zones during machine operation, helping maintain compliance with modern machinery safety standards.

This variant features a jointed actuator adjustable in two directions, providing flexibility for complex guard alignment. It operates on a 24 V AC/DC supply and includes a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration actuated by the solenoid. The unit 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 adjustable in two directions for flexible installation.
• 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

• Pizzato FS series safety switch with guard locking.
• Jointed actuator adjustable in two directions.
• 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 M20 threaded conduit entries for secure wiring.

Advanced Guard Locking for Industrial Safety

Safety interlock switches with guard locking, such as the FS1896D024-F3M2, 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, reducing risk to operators and maintenance personnel.

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.
