Why Choose the Pizzato FY 61MD5D0A Safety Switch with Separate Actuator and Lock?
The Pizzato FY 61MD5D0A is an FY series safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed for monitoring protective doors and guards on industrial machinery. It combines guard-position detection with solenoid-controlled locking, making it suitable for machinery where access must remain restricted while hazardous conditions are present.
This configuration uses operating principle D, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. It incorporates a key-operated auxiliary release and a slow-action contact unit with 3NO contacts operated by the actuator and 1NC contact operated by the solenoid.
The FY 61MD5D0A operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and provides a maximum actuator holding force of 2,800 N. A reinforced technopolymer housing, rotating head, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67/IP69K protection make it a robust solution for demanding machine-safety installations.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard monitoring and mechanical guard locking in one safety device.
- Operating principle D keeps the actuator locked with the solenoid de-energised.
- Provides a substantial 2,800 N maximum actuator holding force.
- 3NO actuator-operated contacts plus 1NC solenoid-operated contact provide guard and lock-status signalling.
- Integrated key-operated auxiliary release supports controlled manual unlocking.
- IP67 and IP69K protection supports installation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Guard Locking for Hazardous Machinery
FY series guard-locking switches are intended for machinery where hazardous conditions may remain after a stop command, such as equipment with mechanical inertia, pressure, high temperatures or other residual hazards. The locking mechanism can retain the protective guard until the machine control system permits safe access.
With its de-energise-to-lock principle, 2,800 N holding force and separate monitoring of actuator and solenoid conditions, the FY 61MD5D0A provides a robust basis for machine guard interlocking. The key-operated auxiliary release also provides a controlled means of manually releasing the locking mechanism when required by the installation procedure.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard locking.
- Protective doors on machinery with residual hazards.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FY 61MD5D0A used for?
The FY 61MD5D0A is used to monitor and lock protective machine guards, particularly where access must remain restricted until hazardous machine conditions have ended.
How does the FY 61MD5D0A locking principle work?
It uses operating principle D, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is de-energised.
What contacts does the FY 61MD5D0A have?
The slow-action contact unit provides 3NO contacts operated by the actuator and 1NC contact operated by the solenoid.
What voltage does the FY 61MD5D0A require?
The electromagnetic locking system is designed for a 24 V AC/DC supply.
Does the FY 61MD5D0A include an actuator?
No. The separate actuator is not supplied with this configuration and should be selected separately to suit the guard installation.
Trusted for Industrial Machine Safety
