Why Choose the Pizzato FS2096D120-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2096D120-F8 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for secure guard monitoring in demanding industrial environments. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that machine access points remain locked during hazardous operations, supporting safe and compliant machine operation.
This model operates using a power-to-release (D working method), meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. This fail-safe design ensures that guards remain secured in the event of power loss, significantly enhancing operator safety.
With a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and durable technopolymer housing, the FS2096D120-F8 is ideal for industrial machinery, production lines and safety-critical automation systems.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2096D120-F8 are critical for protecting operators and ensuring safe machine operation. They prevent access to hazardous areas while machinery is running and only allow entry when safe conditions are met.
The fail-safe locking mechanism ensures that the guard remains locked during power loss, while the combination of 1 NO and 2 NC contacts provides reliable feedback for advanced safety control systems and PLC integration.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Automated production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Robotic cells and CNC equipment.
- Industrial safety zones and access control systems.
