Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D230-F2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D230-F2 is a compact and highly reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed to ensure secure guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the durable Pizzato FS series, it provides dependable safety performance in demanding automation environments.
This version is equipped with an F2 jointed actuator configuration, allowing flexible alignment to compensate for installation tolerances. It is particularly suited to machinery where precise actuator positioning may vary or where installation flexibility is required.
Operating on a 230 V AC supply with a de-energised locking (fail-safe) principle, the FS1896D230-F2 ensures that the actuator remains locked in the event of power loss. Its IP67-rated technopolymer housing, rotating head, and positive opening contacts ensure long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking.
- Fail-safe locking when de-energised for maximum protection.
