Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D024-FK21 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D024-FK21 is a heavy duty safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking, designed for industrial machinery requiring controlled access and enhanced operator protection. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety guards remain securely locked until safe conditions are achieved.
Built with a rugged technopolymer housing, this safety switch is engineered for durability in harsh environments. The integrated solenoid locking mechanism prevents access to hazardous zones during operation, ensuring compliance with machine safety standards and reducing risk to personnel.
This model operates on a 24 V AC/DC supply and features a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration actuated by the solenoid. It uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised, providing fail safe operation.
Key Advantages
- Guard locking safety switch for controlled access to hazardous machinery.
- Integrated solenoid locking ensures secure operation during machine cycles.
- D working method provides 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 long service life.
Key Features
- Pizzato FS series safety switch with guard locking.
- Separate actuator system for machine guarding applications.
- 1 NO + 1 NC solenoid driven contacts.
- 24 V AC/DC operating voltage.
- Rotating head for flexible installation orientation.
- Positive opening contacts for safety compliance.
- Three PG13.5 conduit entries for industrial wiring.
Advanced Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches with guard locking, such as the FS1896D024-FK21, 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 is critical in emergency situations, ensuring machinery cannot be accessed until it is safe.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors requiring controlled access.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production lines and robotics.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial safety interlock systems.
- OEM machine building and automation.
