Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D120-F2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D120-F2 is a compact and highly reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for secure guard monitoring in industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it delivers dependable safety performance in demanding automation environments.
This variant features an F2 jointed actuator configuration, allowing flexible alignment to compensate for installation tolerances. This makes it particularly suitable for machinery where precise actuator positioning is difficult to maintain.
Operating on a 120 V AC/DC supply with a de-energised locking (fail-safe) principle, the FS1896D120-F2 ensures the actuator remains locked in the event of power loss. Its IP67-rated technopolymer housing, rotating head, and positive opening contacts ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking.
- Fail-safe locking when de-energised for maximum protection.
- F2 jointed actuator for flexible installation alignment.
- 120 V AC/DC operation for industrial control systems.
- IP67 protection for harsh environments.
- Compact design suitable for space-constrained machinery.
Key Features
- Pizzato FS series safety switch.
- Model: FS1896D120-F2.
- Separate actuator with solenoid locking.
- F2 jointed actuator configuration.
- Working method D: locked actuator when de-energised.
- Contact configuration: 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid operated).
- Positive opening contacts for safety circuits.

- PG13.5 threaded conduit entries.
Flexible Alignment with Reliable Safety Control
The FS1896D120-F2 is designed for installations where guard alignment can vary. Its jointed actuator design compensates for misalignment while maintaining consistent safety performance through its positive opening contacts.
Its fail-safe locking mechanism ensures guards remain securely locked during operation and remain locked during power failure, helping maintain compliance with industrial safety standards and protecting operators from hazardous machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Industrial automation and robotics.
- Safety doors and access-controlled areas.
- Conveyor systems with restricted zones.
- Applications requiring flexible actuator alignment.
