Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60AD5D0Z-F20 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60AD5D0Z-F20 is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid locking designed for controlling access to hazardous areas around industrial machinery. As part of the established Pizzato FG safety interlock switch series, it combines guard position monitoring with secure mechanical locking for dependable machine safety and industrial automation applications.
Featuring a durable metal housing and IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529, the FG 60AD5D0Z-F20 is designed for demanding industrial environments. Its rotating head incorporates a lock auxiliary release device, providing a means of manually releasing the locking mechanism when authorised access or maintenance is required. Three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries provide flexible wiring options.
This model uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. The solenoid operates from a 24 V AC/DC supply, while the contact block provides 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid. The -F20 configuration is supplied complete with the VF KEYF20 straight actuator, providing a complete guard interlocking solution for industrial machinery.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches with guard locking are used where access to hazardous machinery must remain restricted until potentially dangerous movement or processes have stopped. The Pizzato FG series combines guard position detection with mechanical locking, allowing a machine safety system to monitor both the position of the separate actuator and the state of the locking mechanism.
The FG 60AD5D0Z-F20 uses a de-energise-to-lock operating principle, meaning the actuator remains mechanically locked when power to the solenoid is removed. This makes the switch particularly suitable for machinery where a guard must remain locked during power loss or until a controlled release is permitted. The auxiliary lock release provides an additional means of controlled manual unlocking when required.
