Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D024-FK40 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2896D024-FK40 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for reliable machine guarding and controlled access in industrial environments. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it provides dependable safety performance and long service life in demanding automation systems.
This version incorporates a separate actuator with guard locking and operates using a de-energised solenoid locking principle, ensuring the actuator remains locked in the event of power failure. This fail-safe design is critical for maintaining operator protection and system safety integrity.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid), the FS2896D024-FK40 is ideal for safety doors, machine guards and automated production systems requiring reliable interlocking.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2896D024-FK40 ensure that machine guards remain securely locked until hazardous motion has stopped. This prevents accidental access to dangerous areas and enhances operator protection across industrial applications.
The de-energised solenoid locking mechanism guarantees that the actuator remains locked during power failure, maintaining safety integrity even in emergency situations. This makes it ideal for high-risk environments requiring strict safety compliance.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and safety enclosures.
- Automated production lines and robotic systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial access control systems.
- OEM machinery and automation integration.
