Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60DD1E0B-F28 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 60DD1E0B-F28 is an industrial safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed for monitoring and retaining movable guards on machinery. Part of the Pizzato FY series, it combines mechanical interlocking, solenoid-controlled locking and independent guard and lock monitoring in a durable technopolymer assembly.
This model uses the D1E operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised and released when the solenoid is de-energised. Its slow-action 60D contact block provides 2NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid, enabling separate monitoring of guard position and locking status.
The FY 60DD1E0B-F28 operates from a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and features one red and one green LED that are freely configurable. The switch is supplied complete with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator, a jointed and adjustable actuator designed to accommodate guard alignment requirements and provide flexible installation.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard position monitoring and mechanical guard locking in one industrial safety device.
- Energise-to-lock operation releases the actuator when power to the locking solenoid is removed.
- 2NC actuator-operated contacts provide dedicated monitoring of the movable guard.
- 1NO + 1NC solenoid-operated contacts provide independent monitoring of locking status.
- 24 V AC/DC operation suits common industrial safety and automation systems.
- Freely configurable red and green LEDs provide flexible visual status indication.
- Supplied with the versatile VF KEYF28 universal actuator.
- 2800 N maximum holding force provides robust mechanical guard retention.
- IP67 / IP69K protection supports use in demanding industrial environments.

Energise-to-Lock Safety with a Universal Actuator
The Pizzato FY 60DD1E0B-F28 uses an energise-to-lock arrangement in which energising the solenoid mechanically locks the inserted actuator and removing power releases it. Independent actuator and solenoid contacts allow a suitable safety control system to monitor both the position of the movable guard and the state of the locking mechanism.
The supplied VF KEYF28 universal actuator is a jointed actuator designed for guards where alignment flexibility is useful. It can be adjusted in two directions and mounted in multiple positions, making the FY 60DD1E0B-F28 particularly useful for machine doors and guards where a rigid straight actuator may be less suitable.
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 machinery.
- Guards requiring an adjustable universal actuator.
- OEM machinery requiring energise-to-lock guard monitoring.
