Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996E024-K40 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996E024-K40 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for secure guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. It ensures equipment cannot operate when safety guards are open, helping maintain operator safety and compliance with machine safety standards.
Part of the heavy-duty Pizzato FS safety switch series, this model is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliability, durability and safety integrity are essential. It is widely used by machine builders and automation engineers in safety-critical applications.
Operating at 24 V AC/DC with an energised solenoid locking mechanism (E working method), the FS2996E024-K40 keeps hazardous areas securely locked until safe conditions are achieved. This version includes a K40 auxiliary release system, allowing controlled manual unlocking for maintenance or emergency access situations.
Key Advantages
- Reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking.
- 24 V AC/DC operation for industrial control systems.
- Locked actuator with energised solenoid for controlled access.
- K40 auxiliary release for safe manual override.
- Improves operator safety and machine protection.
- Durable construction for long service life in harsh environments.
Key Features
- Pizzato FS series safety switch with separate actuator.
- Solenoid locking (E type) – locked when energised.
- 24 V AC/DC control voltage.
- Contact configuration: 1NC (actuator) + 2NC (solenoid).
- Positive opening contacts for safety circuits.
- Straight actuator configuration for standard installations.
- K40 auxiliary release mechanism.
- Technopolymer housing with high durability.
- PG13.5 threaded conduit entries for industrial wiring.
Reliable Safety Control for Industrial Machinery
The FS2996E024-K40 ensures machinery operates only when safety guards are correctly positioned. Opening a guard immediately interrupts the safety circuit, preventing hazardous motion and reducing the risk of injury.
Its energised solenoid locking system ensures that access is granted only when safe conditions are achieved, while the integrated K40 auxiliary release provides controlled manual override for maintenance or emergency access scenarios.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door monitoring.
- Automated production and assembly systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Robotic cells and industrial automation systems.
- Conveyor systems and material handling equipment.
- Industrial safety circuits requiring interlock protection.
