FS 3096E230-M2 Pizzato FS series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FS3096E230-M2 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FS3096E230-M2 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid guard locking designed for monitoring and controlling access through protective guards and safety doors on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FS safety switch series, it combines separate-actuator guard detection with electrically controlled locking for dependable machine-safety applications.

This model uses the 96E operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. Its contact arrangement comprises 2NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NC contact operated by the solenoid, allowing the safety control system to monitor both guard position and the state of the locking mechanism.

With a 230 V AC solenoid supply, reinforced technopolymer housing, rotating head, M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67 protection, the FS3096E230-M2 is well suited to industrial machinery requiring secure guard locking; this M2 version is supplied without an actuator so the appropriate separate actuator can be selected for the application.

Key Advantages

• Industrial safety interlock switch with solenoid-controlled guard locking.
• 230 V AC solenoid supply for compatible industrial control systems.
• 96E energised-solenoid locking principle retains the actuator when power is applied to the solenoid.
• 2NC actuator contacts plus 1NC solenoid contact provide separate guard and lock monitoring.
• Positive-opening contact operation supports safety-related switching.
• Rotating head enables flexible actuator-entry orientation.
• M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries suit metric industrial wiring installations.
• IP67 protection supports use in demanding machinery environments.

Reliable Guard Interlocking for Industrial Machinery

Safety interlock switches with solenoid locking are used where a protective guard must be monitored and retained in position while access to a hazardous machine area is restricted. The separate actuator engages the switch head when the guard closes, while dedicated contacts allow the safety system to monitor actuator position and the state of the solenoid-controlled locking mechanism.

The Pizzato FS3096E230-M2 uses the 96E operating method, which locks the actuator when the solenoid is energised. Combined with positive-opening contacts, a rotating head, robust IP67 construction and a maximum holding force of 1100 N, it provides a dependable solution for controlled guard access on industrial machinery.

Typical Applications

• Machine guarding and safety-door interlocking.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
• Robotic cells and automated work areas.
• Conveyor and material-handling equipment.
• Industrial machinery requiring controlled access to hazardous areas.
