Why Choose the Pizzato FY 61MD7D0A Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 61MD7D0A is an industrial safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for monitoring and retaining movable guards on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FY series, it combines mechanical guard locking, separate guard and lock-state monitoring contacts, and slow-action switching for integration into machine-safety systems.
This model uses operating principle D, meaning the actuator remains locked while the solenoid is de-energised and is released when the solenoid is energised. The D7 configuration incorporates an escape release button, providing a means of manually releasing the locking mechanism from inside a protected area where an emergency escape facility is required by the machine design.
The FY 61MD7D0A uses the 61M slow-action contact block, providing 3 NO actuator-operated contacts and 1 NC solenoid-operated contact. It is configured for a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and is supplied without an actuator, allowing a compatible Pizzato FY series actuator to be selected separately to suit the geometry and movement of the machine guard.
Key Advantages
- Industrial safety interlock switch with mechanical guard locking.
- De-energised solenoid locking keeps the actuator retained while the solenoid is unpowered.
- Integrated escape release button for release from inside a guarded area.
- 3 NO actuator-operated contacts for guard-position signalling.
- 1 NC solenoid-operated contact for monitoring the locking condition.
- 61M slow-action contact block designed for industrial safety switching.
- Separate electrical monitoring of actuator and solenoid states.
- Separate-actuator format supports a variety of sliding, hinged and removable guard arrangements.
Key Features
- Pizzato FY series safety switch with separate actuator and lock.
- Operating principle D: actuator locked with de-energised solenoid.
- D7 escape release button configuration.
- 61M slow-action contact block.
- Actuator-operated contacts: 3 NO.
- Solenoid-operated contacts: 1 NC.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid operating voltage.
- Positive-opening operation on the applicable safety contact according to EN 60947-5-1.
- Interlock with lock monitoring according to EN ISO 14119.
- Typical FY series actuating force of approximately 30 N.
- Separate actuator selected independently to suit the machine-guard installation.
- Designed for industrial machinery requiring controlled and monitored guard access.
Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety switches with guard locking are used where access through a movable guard must remain controlled while machinery is operating or while a residual hazard remains. The Pizzato FY series combines mechanical retention of a separate actuator with electrical monitoring, allowing the machine control system to supervise both guard position and the status of the locking mechanism.
The FY 61MD7D0A uses de-energised-solenoid locking so that the actuator remains mechanically retained while the solenoid is without power. Its three actuator-operated NO contacts provide guard-position signalling, while the solenoid-operated NC contact monitors the locking mechanism, and the escape release button provides an internal means of releasing the guard lock where required by the machinery safety design.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guards requiring monitored mechanical locking.
- Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyors and material-handling installations.
- Machine tools with hazardous run-down time.
- Automated assembly and manufacturing systems.
- Guarded areas requiring an internal escape release facility.
- OEM machine building and industrial automation applications.
