Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60BD1E0Z-F20 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FY 60BD1E0Z-F20 is an FY series safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking designed for monitoring and securing protective guards on industrial machinery. It combines guard-position detection with mechanical locking, helping machine builders implement controlled access to hazardous areas of automated equipment.
The FY 60BD1E0Z-F20 uses the E working principle, meaning the actuator is mechanically locked when the solenoid is energised. Its 60B contact block provides 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator and 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid, enabling separate monitoring of guard position and lock status.
Operating from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, this version is supplied complete with the VF KEYF20 straight actuator. It features a technopolymer housing, orientable head, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and no status LEDs, with IP67 and IP69K protection for demanding industrial machine-guarding applications.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Guard-locking safety switches are used where access to hazardous machine areas needs to be controlled through an interlocked protective guard. The Pizzato FY 60BD1E0Z-F20 combines separate-actuator guard detection with solenoid-operated mechanical locking, allowing the machine safety system to supervise both the position of the guard and the state of the locking mechanism.
The energised-solenoid locking principle allows the guard to be mechanically retained under electrical control, while the dedicated actuator and solenoid contacts provide distinct status signals. Together with the supplied straight actuator, 2800 N holding force and rugged FY series enclosure, this makes the FY 60BD1E0Z-F20 a practical solution for automated production machinery and controlled-access guarding systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guards and interlocked access doors.
- Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
- Automated assembly and manufacturing machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine tools and automated production equipment requiring monitored guard locking.
