Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D230-FK21 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D230-FK21 is a high-performance safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the durable Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors remain securely locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas and enhancing operator protection.
This model features a 230 V AC/DC solenoid locking system and operates with a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour ensures safety is maintained even in the event of power loss or emergency shutdown.
Supplied with a straight actuator (FK21 type), the FS2996D230-FK21 offers precise alignment for guard applications. Its robust technopolymer housing and IP67 protection rating ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled machine access.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D230-FK21 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 outages or emergency stop conditions.
The included straight actuator enables direct installation on safety doors or 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 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.
