Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-F7 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-F7 is a high-performance safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for advanced machine guarding and controlled access in industrial environments. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors and guards remain securely locked during hazardous operation, preventing access until safe conditions are achieved.
This model operates with a 120 V AC/DC solenoid and features a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour ensures maximum operator protection during power loss or emergency conditions.
With its separate actuator design and rugged technopolymer housing, the FS2996D120-F7 provides flexible installation and long-term durability. Its rotating head and adjustable actuator allow precise alignment on machine guards, making it ideal for demanding industrial safety applications.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-F7 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 installation on hinged or sliding 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 industrial machinery and safety-critical automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door interlocking.
- Automated production lines and robotic systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- CNC machines and industrial equipment.
- Access control for hazardous zones.
