Why Choose the Pizzato FS2096E230-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2096E230-F8 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for secure guard monitoring in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the rugged Pizzato FS series, it ensures that access to hazardous areas is prevented until safe operating conditions are achieved.
This model features an E-type working method (power-to-lock), meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is energised. This allows controlled unlocking only when power is removed, making it ideal for applications requiring managed access control and operational safety.
With a 230 V AC supply, IP67 protection rating, and robust technopolymer housing, the FS2096E230-F8 is engineered for demanding industrial environments. It includes a rotating head and universal actuator compatibility for flexible installation across a wide range of machine guarding applications.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2096E230-F8 are critical for ensuring operator safety and machine compliance. They prevent access to hazardous zones while machinery is running and only allow access when the system reaches a safe state.
The power-to-lock mechanism ensures secure guard retention during operation, while the 1 NO and 2 NC contact configuration provides reliable feedback for integration with safety PLCs and control systems.
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.
