Why Choose the Pizzato FG 60ED1D0Z-F28 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FG 60ED1D0Z-F28 is an FG Series safety switch with solenoid and separate actuator, designed for monitored guard locking on industrial machinery. Its heavy-duty metal housing, positive-opening contact operation and robust locking mechanism make it suitable for machine safety applications where a movable guard must remain secured until access can be permitted safely.
This model uses Principle D operation, meaning the actuator is locked while the electromagnet is de-energised. The contact unit comprises 1NC contact operated by the actuator together with 1NO + 2NC contacts operated by the electromagnet, providing a total arrangement of 3NC + 1NO for monitoring guard and locking conditions.
The FG 60ED1D0Z-F28 operates from 24 V AC/DC and features an orientable head, metal enclosure, three M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entries and IP67 protection according to EN 60529. This F28 version is supplied complete with the Pizzato VF KEYF28 universal actuator and does not incorporate LED status indication.
Key Advantages
- Principle D power-to-unlock operation keeps the actuator locked while the electromagnet is de-energised.

Reliable Power-to-Unlock Guard Protection
The Pizzato FG 60ED1D0Z-F28 uses Principle D operation, providing a power-to-unlock arrangement in which the actuator remains mechanically locked while the electromagnet is de-energised. This operating principle is particularly useful where a guard should remain locked if electrical power to the solenoid is removed.
The separate guard and electromagnet contacts allow an appropriate machine safety system to supervise both actuator position and locking status. Combined with positive-opening operation, a robust metal enclosure, IP67 ingress protection and the supplied VF KEYF28 universal actuator, the FG 60ED1D0Z-F28 provides a dependable guard-locking solution for industrial automation and machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors and access gates.
- Robotic and automated manufacturing cells.
- Hinged and sliding machine guards.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Industrial machine tools.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
