Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60FD1E1Z-F20 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 60FD1E1Z-F20 is an industrial safety switch with separate actuator and solenoid guard locking from the Pizzato FY series, designed for monitoring and controlling access through movable guards, doors and protective barriers on machinery. Its combined interlocking and locking functions make it suitable for automated equipment where guard position and lock status need to be incorporated into the machine control system.
The FY 60FD1E1Z-F20 uses a 24 V AC/DC solenoid and the FY family's 60F slow-action contact configuration, providing 1 NO actuator-operated contact plus 1 NO + 2 NC solenoid-operated contacts. This gives a total contact arrangement of 2 NO + 2 NC for signalling the state of the separate actuator and locking mechanism.
The E1Z configuration provides energised guard locking, retaining the actuator when the solenoid is powered, while the F20 suffix identifies the supplied actuator configuration. This makes the FY 60FD1E1Z-F20 a practical complete interlocking solution for industrial machine guards, automated production equipment and safety-related access-control applications.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches with guard locking allow a machinery control system to monitor a movable protective guard while also controlling whether the guard actuator can be withdrawn. The Pizzato FY 60FD1E1Z-F20 combines these functions in a single assembly, providing separate electrical signalling for actuator position and the solenoid-operated locking mechanism.
With its energised locking arrangement, the actuator is mechanically retained when the locking solenoid is powered. The F20 actuator provides the corresponding mechanical interface on the movable guard, making this configuration suitable for machinery where guard locking is deliberately controlled through the electrical safety and automation system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors and access gates.
- Robotic cells and enclosed automation systems.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Guarded production cells and automated work areas.
- Machinery requiring electrically controlled guard locking and status monitoring.
