Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D024-F8M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D024-F8M2 is a compact and highly reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for secure machine guarding and industrial safety applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that hazardous machine movements are safely controlled by preventing access until safe conditions are achieved.
This model operates using a power-to-release (de-energised solenoid) principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour provides an additional layer of protection in emergency stop or power failure scenarios, making it ideal for safety-critical installations.
With a 24 V AC/DC supply, IP67 protection rating, and durable technopolymer housing, the FS1896D024-F8M2 is well suited to industrial environments such as production lines, packaging systems and automated machinery. It features a universal actuator system and secure locking force for reliable operation.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS1896D024-F8M2 are essential components in machine safety systems. They ensure that guards remain locked during hazardous operations and only allow access when safe conditions are confirmed.
The fail-safe design ensures that the actuator remains locked in the absence of power, significantly improving operator safety. Combined with positive opening contacts and solenoid monitoring, the switch enables reliable integration into safety PLCs and advanced control systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Automated production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Robotic cells and CNC machinery.
- Industrial access control and safety zones.
