FS 1896E024-F8M2 Pizzato FS series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FS 1896E024-F8M2 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?

The Pizzato FS 1896E024-F8M2 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid-controlled guard locking designed for monitoring and securing movable guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FS safety switch series, it combines a separate universal actuator, positive-opening safety operation and mechanical locking for dependable machine guarding.

This model uses the E working method, meaning the actuator is locked while the solenoid is energised. This operating principle allows a machine safety system to control guard locking electrically, helping prevent access to hazardous areas while machinery or processes are operating.

The FS 1896E024-F8M2 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and features 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid. The F8 universal actuator, rotating head, reinforced technopolymer housing, three M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entries and IP67 protection provide a versatile solution for industrial machine safety installations.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Safety switches with separate actuators and solenoid locking are used where a movable machine guard must be monitored and mechanically retained during hazardous operation. When the guard closes, the separate actuator enters the switch head, enabling the safety system to detect the guard condition while the locking mechanism controls access to the protected machinery.

The Pizzato FS 1896E024-F8M2 combines an energised-solenoid locking principle with positive-opening contact operation. Its universal actuator and rotating head provide installation flexibility, while the IP67 reinforced technopolymer enclosure supports dependable operation in industrial automation, machine building and production environments.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guards and safety doors.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Machine tools requiring controlled guard access.
