Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD5D0C Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FG 60BD5D0C is a heavy-duty FG series safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking, designed to monitor movable guards and control access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. Its robust construction and dedicated guard and lock monitoring contacts make it suitable for demanding automated machinery and machine-safety installations.
The FG 60BD5D0C uses the D working method, meaning the actuator is locked with the solenoid de-energised. It operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and incorporates 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid. Positive-opening functionality supports dependable safety-circuit operation.
A rugged metal housing, three M20 × 1.5 cable entries and IP67 protection according to EN 60529 provide suitability for industrial environments. The rotating head incorporates an auxiliary key release device, while one orange and one green LED can be freely assigned for machine-status signalling. This base configuration is supplied without an actuator, allowing a suitable FG actuator to be selected separately for the application.
Key Advantages
- De-energised-to-lock operation mechanically retains the actuator without continuous solenoid power.
- Auxiliary key release provides a controlled manual release function.
- 1NO + 1NC actuator contacts and 2NC solenoid contacts enable separate monitoring of guard and locking states.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits widely used industrial control systems.
- Positive-opening safety contact functionality supports dependable machine guarding.
- Orange and green LEDs provide freely configurable visual status indication.
- Heavy-duty metal housing with IP67 protection supports demanding industrial installations.

Reliable De-Energised-to-Lock Machine Guarding
The FG 60BD5D0C is designed for machinery where a protective guard needs to remain mechanically locked until the control system permits access. Its de-energised-to-lock arrangement retains the actuator while the solenoid is unpowered, while separate actuator-operated and solenoid-operated contacts allow the machine safety circuit to monitor both guard position and locking condition.
The auxiliary key release adds a controlled manual release facility, while the configurable orange and green LEDs provide useful visual signalling options. Combined with positive-opening contacts, a metal enclosure and IP67 protection, the FG 60BD5D0C provides a robust guard-locking solution for industrial automation and production machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety doors and access gates.
- Robotic cells and perimeter guarding.
- Machinery with hazardous run-down or stopping time.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material-handling systems.
- Guarded machinery requiring auxiliary key-release functionality.
