Why Choose the Pizzato FX 993-DM2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX 993-DM2 is a robust safety switch with separate actuator designed for dependable monitoring of movable machine guards, access doors and protective covers. Part of the Pizzato FX Series, it combines a durable technopolymer enclosure with the Pizzato VF key-operated actuator system for industrial machine safety and guard interlocking applications.
The FX 993-DM2 features a 2NC slow-action contact configuration, providing two normally closed safety contacts for integration into appropriately designed machine safety circuits. Positive opening operation ensures direct mechanical opening of the safety contacts when the separate actuator is withdrawn from the switch, providing reliable detection of an opened guard.
Designed for industrial installation, the FX 993-DM2 uses a VF KEYD separate actuator and incorporates two M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries. Its compact FX housing and separate-actuator operating principle make it well suited to machinery where reliable electromechanical guard position monitoring is required.

Reliable Machine Guard Position Monitoring
Safety switches with separate actuators are widely used to monitor movable guards, access doors and protective covers on industrial machinery. When the guard is closed, the actuator engages with the switch mechanism. Opening the guard withdraws the actuator and mechanically changes the state of the safety contacts, allowing the associated safety control system to initiate the required protective response.
The Pizzato FX 993-DM2 combines this established interlocking principle with two normally closed slow-action contacts and positive opening operation. Its VF KEYD actuator and dual M20 × 1.5 cable entries provide a practical solution for industrial machinery requiring reliable, hard-wired electromechanical guard monitoring.
