Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D120-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D120-F8 is a compact and robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable guard monitoring in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures safe machine operation by preventing access to hazardous areas until safe conditions are achieved.
This model operates using a power-to-release (de-energised solenoid) principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour enhances operator protection during power loss or emergency stop conditions, making it ideal for safety-critical environments.
With a 120 V AC/DC supply, durable technopolymer housing and IP67 protection rating, the FS1896D120-F8 is well suited to demanding industrial applications including production lines, packaging systems and machine guarding installations.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS1896D120-F8 are essential components in machine safety systems. They ensure that guards remain locked during hazardous operations and only allow access when safe conditions are confirmed.
The fail-safe locking mechanism ensures the actuator remains secured even during power failure, significantly reducing risk to operators. Combined with positive opening contacts, the switch is suitable for integration into safety-rated control systems and PLC-based automation.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Automated production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Robotic cells and CNC machinery.
- Industrial safety zones and access control systems.
