Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996E230-F3M2 Safety Switch?

The Pizzato FS2996E230-F3M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. It ensures that machines cannot operate when safety guards are open, helping to protect personnel and maintain compliance with machine safety regulations.

Part of the advanced Pizzato FS safety switch series, this model is built for demanding automation environments where durability, safety integrity and long-term performance are essential. It is widely used in machine building, robotics and industrial production systems.

Operating at 230 V AC/DC with an energised solenoid locking mechanism (E working method), the FS2996E230-F3M2 keeps hazardous areas securely locked until safe conditions are achieved. It features a jointed actuator adjustable in two directions and M20 conduit entry, allowing flexible installation even in complex guard configurations.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable safety interlock switch with solenoid locking.
  • 230 V AC/DC operation suitable for industrial systems.
  • Locked actuator with energised solenoid for controlled access.
  • Jointed actuator adjustable in two directions for installation flexibility.
  • M20 threaded conduit entry for secure industrial wiring.
  • 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.
  • 230 V AC/DC control voltage.
  • Contact configuration: 1NC (actuator) + 2NC (solenoid).
  • Positive opening contacts for safety circuits.
  • Jointed actuator adjustable in two directions.
  • M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry.
  • Technopolymer housing with high mechanical durability.

Reliable Safety Control for Industrial Machinery

The FS2996E230-F3M2 ensures machinery operates only when safety guards are securely closed. 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. The two-direction adjustable jointed actuator provides excellent flexibility for installation, particularly in complex or space-constrained machine guarding applications.

Typical Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety door monitoring.
  • Automated production and assembly systems.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Robotic cells and industrial automation systems.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Industrial safety circuits requiring interlock protection.
