Why Choose the Pizzato FY 61HD1E0A Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?
The Pizzato FY 61HD1E0A is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and mechanical guard locking designed for monitoring and controlling movable guards on industrial machinery. As part of the advanced Pizzato FY series, it combines guard position monitoring with a solenoid-operated locking mechanism for applications where access to hazardous machine areas must be controlled.
This safety switch uses operating principle E, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised and released when the solenoid power supply is switched off. The FY 61HD1E0A incorporates a four-contact slow-action contact block comprising 2NO contacts controlled by the solenoid and 2NC contacts controlled by the actuator, enabling separate monitoring of guard position and locking status within the machine safety circuit.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, maximum actuator holding force of 2800 N and protection ratings up to IP67 and IP69K, the FY 61HD1E0A is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its glass-fibre-reinforced technopolymer housing, metal head and three M20 conduit entries provide a durable and flexible installation solution for machine guarding applications. This configuration is supplied without a separate actuator.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety switches with separate actuators and guard locking are used to monitor movable machine guards while preventing access when operating conditions require the guard to remain closed. The Pizzato FY series combines mechanical interlocking, electrical position monitoring and solenoid-controlled locking in a compact industrial housing.
The FY 61HD1E0A uses an energise-to-lock operating principle. When the solenoid is energised the inserted actuator is mechanically locked, while removal of power releases the locking mechanism. The separate solenoid-controlled and actuator-controlled contacts allow the machine control system to monitor both the state of the locking mechanism and the physical position of the guard.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety doors and movable guards.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling machinery.
- Machine tools and industrial production equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FY 61HD1E0A used for?
The FY 61HD1E0A is used to monitor and mechanically lock movable machine guards, helping control access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery.
How does the locking mechanism operate?
The FY 61HD1E0A uses operating principle E, so the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised and released when the solenoid power supply is switched off.
What contact configuration does the FY 61HD1E0A have?
The switch has four slow-action contacts comprising 2NO contacts controlled by the solenoid and 2NC contacts controlled by the actuator.
