Why Choose the Pizzato NX B42AZ1SQK-F61 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX B42AZ1SQK-F61 is a compact RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for reliable monitoring and controlled locking of movable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the advanced Pizzato NX series, it combines non-contact RFID actuator recognition with a bistable locking system, making it particularly suitable for machines where access must remain restricted until hazardous conditions have ended.
This configuration operates in Mode 1 with a bistable solenoid, activating the redundant OS1 and OS2 safety outputs when the actuator is inserted and locked. It provides two safety inputs, two safety outputs, separate signalling outputs for actuator-inserted and actuator-locked conditions, two solenoid activation inputs and a programming/reset input for comprehensive integration with machine safety controls.
Operating from a nominal 24 V DC supply, the NX B42AZ1SQK-F61 features an 8-pole M12 connector designed for series connection with suitable Y connectors and is supplied with the VN NX-F61 high-level coded universal actuator. A maximum locked-actuator holding force of 6000 N, IP67 / IP69K protection and an illuminated RGB LED cover provide robust performance and clear status indication in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches such as the Pizzato NX series combine coded non-contact guard detection with mechanical guard locking. In Mode 1 operation, the NX B42AZ1SQK-F61 activates its redundant safety outputs only when the actuator is inserted and locked, enabling the safety control system to verify that the associated guard is secured before hazardous machine operation is permitted.
The bistable operating principle, high-level coded actuator, separate guard-status outputs and series-connection capability make this NX switch particularly suitable for sophisticated machine safety architectures. Its compact dimensions, high holding force and robust environmental protection also make it practical for machinery where installation space is restricted or operating conditions are demanding.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective access panels.
- Industrial automation and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production and automated assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machinery with hazardous residual movement after shutdown.
- Equipment containing hot or pressurised process areas.
- Safety systems requiring high-level coded RFID guard monitoring and locking.
