Why Choose the Pizzato FG60GD1E1Z Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FG60GD1E1Z is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for industrial machine guard monitoring and controlled access protection in demanding automation environments. Part of the durable Pizzato FG series, this model combines reinforced metal construction, monitored guard locking and positive opening safety contacts for high-reliability industrial safety systems.
Designed for machine guards, access doors and hazardous area protection systems, the FG60GD1E1Z features a rotating head housing for flexible installation in confined machinery layouts. This version uses the E working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is energised, making it suitable for applications requiring power-to-lock functionality.
This variant operates using a 120 VAC/DC solenoid supply and includes 2 NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid. This version is supplied without LED indication, making it suitable for installations using external diagnostics or PLC monitoring systems.
