Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-F2M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-F2M2 is a high-performance safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed to deliver secure guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the advanced Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors and guards remain locked during hazardous operation, preventing access until safe conditions are achieved.
This model features a 120 V AC/DC solenoid locking system with a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour enhances operator protection in safety-critical applications.
With a separate actuator design and robust technopolymer housing, the FS2996D120-F2M2 is engineered for long service life and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Its flexible mounting and compatibility with safety relays and PLC systems make it ideal for modern automation and machine safety systems.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled access to hazardous areas.
- 120 V AC/DC solenoid suitable for industrial control circuits.
- Fail-safe locking (power-to-release) enhances safety integrity.
- Separate actuator design improves installation flexibility.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- Durable construction for long-term industrial use.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-F2M2 ensures that machinery cannot operate unless guards are securely closed and locked. Its fail-safe design keeps the actuator locked when power is removed, preventing unintended access during power loss or emergency conditions.
The separate actuator allows flexible installation on doors or movable guards, while the solenoid-controlled release ensures that access is only granted when the machine reaches a safe state. This makes it suitable for high-risk machinery and safety-critical applications.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door interlocking.
- Automated production lines and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- CNC machines and industrial equipment.
- Access control for hazardous zones.
