Why Choose the Pizzato FS2096E120-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2096E120-F8 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for high-integrity machine guarding and industrial automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that access to hazardous machine areas is prevented until safe conditions are confirmed.
This version uses an E-type working method (power-to-lock), meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. This enables controlled unlocking only when power is removed, making it suitable for applications requiring managed access and operational safety control.
With a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and durable technopolymer housing, the FS2096E120-F8 is designed for demanding industrial environments. It features a rotating head, universal actuator compatibility and multiple conduit entries for flexible installation.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2096E120-F8 are critical components in machine safety systems. They ensure that guards remain securely locked during hazardous machine operation and only allow access once safe conditions are achieved.
The power-to-lock mechanism provides controlled access management, while the 1 NO and 2 NC contact configuration enables reliable feedback to safety PLCs and control systems for advanced safety logic.
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 machinery.
- Industrial safety zones and controlled access systems.
