FP 20R2-L05F8M2 Pizzato Safety switch with manual mechanical delay
Pizzato FP 20R2-L05F8M2 is an IP67 safety switch with approximately 5 s manual mechanical delay, a VF KEYF8 universal separate actuator, 1NO + 2NC slow-action positive-opening contacts and an M20 × 1.5 cable entry for controlled industrial machine guard access.
Why Choose the Pizzato FP 20R2-L05F8M2 Safety Switch with Manual Mechanical Delay?
The Pizzato FP 20R2-L05F8M2 is a robust safety switch with manual mechanical delay and separate actuator designed for guard monitoring where access to hazardous machine areas must be delayed after a stop command. As part of the Pizzato FP Series, it combines positive-opening electromechanical safety contacts with a manually operated delayed-release mechanism for industrial machinery with residual hazardous movement.
The FP 20R2-L05F8M2 incorporates a long operating knob with approximately 5 s mechanical delay and a VF KEYF8 universal jointed actuator. The manual release sequence introduces a fixed delay before the actuator can be withdrawn, while the flexible F8 actuator helps accommodate guard alignment requirements. Its 1NO + 2NC slow-action contact configuration provides two normally closed safety contacts together with one normally open auxiliary contact.
With a durable glass-reinforced technopolymer housing, IP67 protection and positive-opening safety operation, the FP 20R2-L05F8M2 is suitable for demanding industrial installations. The M2 configuration provides an M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry, making the switch particularly suitable for machinery requiring delayed guard access combined with flexible separate-actuator operation.
Key Advantages
Purpose-designed safety switch with manual mechanical delay and separate actuator.
Approximately 5 s mechanical release delay helps prevent immediate access to hazardous machine areas.
1NO + 2NC slow-action contacts provide safety monitoring and auxiliary signalling.
Positive-opening operation for dependable mechanical opening of the safety contacts.
VF KEYF8 universal jointed actuator provides flexibility for guard alignment.
Mechanical delayed-release principle does not require an electrically powered locking solenoid.

Controlled Guard Access with Manual Mechanical Delay
Safety switches with manual mechanical delay are designed for machinery where hazardous movement may continue for a short period after the machine receives a stop command. The mechanical delay requires the operator to complete a timed manual release sequence before the separate actuator can be withdrawn, helping provide additional time for residual movement to cease before the protective guard is opened.
The Pizzato FP 20R2-L05F8M2 combines an approximately 5 s manual delay with positive-opening slow-action contacts and a versatile VF KEYF8 actuator. This provides machine builders with a straightforward mechanical solution for delayed guard access while also accommodating installations where actuator alignment requires additional flexibility.
