Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D230-F8M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2896D230-F8M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for secure machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation systems. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it delivers robust performance, long mechanical life and high safety integrity for demanding environments.
This model features 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 essential for maintaining operator safety and preventing access to hazardous machinery during power failure or emergency stop conditions.
With a 230 V AC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid), the FS2896D230-F8M2 is ideal for machine guards, safety doors and automated production systems requiring reliable interlocking and access control.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2896D230-F8M2 ensure that machine guards remain securely locked until hazardous motion has stopped. This significantly reduces the risk of operator injury and ensures safe machine operation in industrial environments.
The de-energised solenoid locking mechanism guarantees that the actuator remains locked during power failure, maintaining safety integrity in emergency situations and ensuring compliance with strict industrial safety standards.
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.
