Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D120-FM2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2896D120-FM2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation environments. As part of the durable Pizzato FS series, it provides dependable switching performance and long-term safety compliance in demanding applications.
This model incorporates a separate actuator with guard locking and operates using a de-energised solenoid locking principle, ensuring the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe design is critical for maintaining operator protection and preventing access to hazardous areas during power loss or emergency conditions.
With a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid), the FS2896D120-FM2 is ideal for machine guards, safety doors and automated production systems requiring secure interlocking.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2896D120-FM2 ensure that machine guards remain securely locked until hazardous motion has stopped. This significantly reduces the risk of operator injury and improves overall system safety.
The de-energised solenoid locking mechanism guarantees that the actuator remains locked during power failure, maintaining safety integrity in emergency conditions and ensuring compliance with strict industrial safety requirements.
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.
