Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60BD6D0B-LP30 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60BD6D0B-LP30 is a heavy-duty FG series safety switch with solenoid guard locking and separate actuator, designed for monitoring and controlling access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. It uses Principle D operation, with the actuator locked when the electromagnet is de-energised, making it suitable for machinery where a guard must remain secured until safe access is permitted.
This configuration provides 1NO+1NC contacts operated by the actuator together with 2NC contacts operated by the solenoid. This arrangement enables monitoring of both the movable guard and the locking mechanism, while positive-opening contact operation supports integration into safety-related machine control systems.
The FG 60BD6D0B-LP30 operates from a 24 V AC/DC supply and incorporates a rotating head with key-operated auxiliary release and escape release pushbutton. Its robust metal enclosure, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries, green and red status LEDs and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding industrial guard-locking installations.
Key Advantages
- Solenoid-operated guard locking for machinery requiring controlled access to hazardous areas.

Controlled Guard Access with De-Energised Solenoid Locking
Guard-locking safety switches are used on machinery where opening a protective guard immediately after a stop command could expose personnel to a continuing hazard. The Pizzato FG 60BD6D0B-LP30 uses Principle D locking, meaning the separate actuator remains mechanically locked while the electromagnet is de-energised and can be released when the machine safety system determines that access is permitted.
Separate actuator-operated and solenoid-operated contacts allow the associated safety control system to monitor both guard position and lock status. The rotating head, auxiliary key release, escape release pushbutton and visual LED indication provide additional flexibility for machine builders designing guarded production equipment and automated safety systems.
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 systems.
- Assembly and material handling machinery.
- Hinged and sliding industrial safety guards.
- OEM machinery requiring monitored guard locking.
