Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60BD6D0A-F22 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 60BD6D0A-F22 is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed for monitoring and retaining movable guards on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FY series, it combines guard position detection, solenoid-controlled mechanical locking and dedicated release functions in a durable technopolymer housing.
This model uses the D operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is de-energised. The D6 configuration incorporates both a key release and escape release button, providing controlled auxiliary unlocking together with an escape-release function for machinery where additional access and egress provisions are required.
The FY 60BD6D0A-F22 uses a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and a slow-action 60B contact block with 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid and 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator. The F22 configuration is supplied with the Pizzato VF KEYF22 actuator, creating a complete interlocking arrangement suitable for demanding industrial machine guarding applications.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard position monitoring and mechanical guard locking in one industrial safety switch.
- De-energise-to-lock operating principle retains the actuator when the solenoid is not energised.
- Integrated key release and escape release button provide additional controlled release functions.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply is suitable for common industrial safety and control systems.
- Independent contacts enable monitoring of both guard position and locking status.
- High 2800 N maximum actuator holding force provides robust guard retention.
- Supplied with a VF KEYF22 actuator for integration with the guarded machine access point.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Guard-locking safety switches are used where access to hazardous machinery must remain prevented until operating conditions allow the guard to be released safely. The Pizzato FY 60BD6D0A-F22 combines mechanical guard retention with separate electrical monitoring of actuator position and solenoid status, helping safety control systems verify both closure and locking of the protected access point.
The de-energise-to-lock principle maintains mechanical retention without continuously energising the solenoid. The additional key release and escape release button provide useful release functions for suitable machine layouts, while the separate VF KEYF22 actuator allows the switch body and actuator to be installed on the fixed and movable sections of the machine guard.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors and access gates.
- Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine tools and enclosed production equipment.
- OEM machinery requiring monitored guard locking and escape release.
