Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60BD7D0A-F20 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 60BD7D0A-F20 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 mechanical interlocking, solenoid-controlled guard locking and independent monitoring contacts within a durable technopolymer housing.
This model uses the D operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is de-energised, and the D7 configuration incorporates an escape release button. Its slow-action 60B contact block provides 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid together with 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator, enabling monitoring of both locking status and guard position.
The FY 60BD7D0A-F20 uses a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and provides a maximum actuator holding force of 2800 N. The F20 configuration is supplied with the Pizzato VF KEYF20 separate actuator, creating a practical guard-locking solution for automated machinery, production equipment and other applications where access must remain controlled during hazardous machine operation.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard position monitoring and mechanical guard locking in one safety device.
- De-energise-to-lock operation retains the actuator while the solenoid is de-energised.
- Integrated escape release button provides an additional release function for suitable guarded areas.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suitable for common industrial control systems.
- Independent contacts allow monitoring of both guard position and locking status.
- High 2800 N maximum actuator holding force provides robust mechanical guard retention.
- Supplied with the VF KEYF20 separate actuator for straightforward machine guard installation.

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 60BD7D0A-F20 combines mechanical guard retention with separate electrical monitoring of actuator position and solenoid status, helping the machine safety system verify that the protected access point is correctly closed and locked.
The de-energise-to-lock principle maintains guard retention without continuously energising the locking solenoid. The integrated escape release button provides an additional means of releasing the locking mechanism from the appropriate side of a guarded area, while the VF KEYF20 actuator allows the switch and actuator to be mounted 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.
