Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60AD5D5Z-F28 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60AD5D5Z-F28 is a robust FG series safety switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for monitoring and locking movable guards on industrial machinery. Its guard-locking mechanism is suited to applications where a safety door or protective guard must remain secured while hazardous machine conditions are present.
This configuration combines a 1NO+1NC actuator-operated contact set with a 1NO+1NC solenoid-operated contact set, providing independent monitoring of the actuator and locking mechanism. The switch uses a durable metal housing with three M20 × 1.5 cable entries and offers an actuator holding force of up to 2,800 N.
The -F28 configuration includes the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator, providing installation flexibility where guard alignment or movement makes an adjustable actuator advantageous. An IP67 protection rating, rotating operating head and integrated auxiliary release further support reliable installation on demanding industrial machinery.

Solenoid Guard Locking for Hazardous Machinery
Guard-locking safety switches are used where simply detecting that a guard has opened is insufficient. Machinery with hazardous run-down times or processes that must reach a safe condition before operator access can require the guard to remain physically locked until the safety control system permits release. The Pizzato FG series combines separate-actuator guard detection with a solenoid-operated locking mechanism for these applications.
The FG 60AD5D5Z-F28 also provides separate electrical contacts for actuator and solenoid status, allowing the machine safety system to monitor both guard position and lock condition. Its 2,800 N maximum holding force, metal construction and universal F28 actuator make it particularly suitable for robust industrial guarding installations.
Typical Applications
- Guard locking on automated production machinery.
- Robotic cells and perimeter safety doors.
- Machinery with hazardous run-down times.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Assembly and material handling systems.
- Hinged and sliding industrial safety guards.
- OEM machinery requiring monitored guard locking.
