Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60DD1E1Z Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60DD1E1Z is a robust safety interlock switch with separate actuator and solenoid lock designed for monitoring and locking movable guards, access doors and protective barriers on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato FG series, it combines mechanical guard locking with slow-action, positive-opening safety contacts for dependable machine safety and controlled access.
This model uses the E working principle, meaning the actuator is mechanically locked when the solenoid is energised. Separate contacts operated by the actuator and solenoid allow a machine safety system to monitor both guard position and locking status, while the rotating head provides flexibility when installing the switch around different machine-guarding arrangements.
The FG 60DD1E1Z operates from a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply and provides 2NC contacts operated by the actuator plus 1NO+1NC contacts operated by the solenoid. Its IP67-rated metal housing incorporates three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and is supplied without an actuator or LED indication, allowing a suitable separate actuator to be selected for the application.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches with solenoid locking enable machinery control systems to monitor protective guard position while also controlling whether the separate actuator is mechanically retained. Independent contacts operated by the actuator and solenoid provide feedback about both guard position and locking status, helping the safety system determine when machinery operation or access can be permitted.
The FG 60DD1E1Z combines energised-solenoid locking with positive-opening contacts and robust metal construction. Its 3000 N locking force, IP67 enclosure and multiple monitoring contacts make it particularly suitable for machinery requiring secure guard retention and dependable integration with industrial safety circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guards and access doors.
- Robotic cells and automated manufacturing systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling installations.
- Machine tools and guarded manufacturing equipment.
