Why Choose the Pizzato FS 1896E230-F3M2 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?
The Pizzato FS 1896E230-F3M2 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 adjustable actuator, positive-opening contact operation and mechanical guard locking for dependable machine safety applications.
This model uses the E working method, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. This power-to-lock operating principle enables the machine control system to command guard retention electrically, making the FS 1896E230-F3M2 suitable for applications where controlled access is required during hazardous machine operation.
The FS 1896E230-F3M2 features a 230 V AC solenoid supply, 1NO + 1NC slow-action contacts operated by the electromagnet and an F3 actuator adjustable in two directions. Its reinforced technopolymer housing, rotating head, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, 1100 N locking force and IP67 protection provide a durable and flexible solution for industrial guard-locking systems.

Adjustable Guard Alignment with Controlled Locking
Safety switches with separate actuators and solenoid locking are used where movable machine guards must be monitored and mechanically retained during hazardous operation. When the guard closes, the actuator enters the switch head so that the safety system can monitor the guard condition while the locking mechanism controls access to the protected machinery.
The Pizzato FS 1896E230-F3M2 combines an actuator adjustable in two directions with an energised-solenoid locking principle, making it particularly useful where accurate guard alignment and controlled access are required. Its positive-opening operation, 1100 N locking force and IP67 enclosure support dependable integration into industrial machine safety systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guards and safety doors.
- Hinged guards requiring adjustable actuator alignment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Robotic cells and manufacturing systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
