Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D230-M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D230-M2 is a robust 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 improving operator safety.
This model operates with a 230 V AC/DC solenoid and uses a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe design ensures protection is maintained even during power loss or emergency conditions, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.
The FS2996D230-M2 is supplied without an actuator, allowing engineers to select the most suitable actuator type for their specific machine guard configuration. Its reinforced technopolymer housing and IP67 protection rating ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D230-M2 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.
Because this version is supplied without an actuator, it provides maximum flexibility for integration into custom machine designs. Engineers can select the most suitable actuator type depending on guard type, movement direction and installation constraints.
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.
