Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D230-F3 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D230-F3 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, engineered to deliver reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors and guards remain securely locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas and protecting personnel.
This model operates with a 230 V AC/DC solenoid locking system and uses a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour ensures that safety is maintained even during power loss or emergency conditions, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
Designed with a separate actuator and rotating head, the FS2996D230-F3 allows flexible installation on a wide range of guard types. Its rugged technopolymer housing and high protection rating ensure dependable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D230-F3 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 stop conditions.
The separate actuator allows installation on hinged or sliding doors, 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 industrial zones.
