Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D120 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D120 is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking, designed for industrial machinery where safe and controlled access is essential. As part of the dependable Pizzato FS series, it ensures that protective guards remain securely locked until machinery reaches a safe state.
Manufactured with a durable technopolymer housing and a rotating head, this switch is engineered for long term reliability in demanding industrial environments. Its integrated solenoid locking mechanism prevents access to hazardous areas during machine operation, supporting compliance with modern safety standards.
This model operates on a 120 V AC/DC supply and features a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration actuated by the solenoid. It uses the D working method, meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised, ensuring fail safe operation in critical safety applications.
Key Advantages
- Guard locking safety switch for controlled access to hazardous machinery.
- 120 V AC/DC supply suitable for higher voltage control systems.
- D working method ensures fail safe locking when power is removed.
- 1 NO + 1 NC contacts for flexible safety circuit integration.
- IP67 protection against dust and water ingress.
- Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.

Advanced Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches with guard locking, such as the FS1896D120, are essential where hazardous motion must be fully stopped before access is permitted. The integrated solenoid ensures guards remain locked during operation, significantly reducing risk to operators and maintenance personnel.
The D working principle provides fail safe protection by keeping the actuator locked when power is removed. This ensures machinery cannot be accessed until it is safe, even during power loss or emergency conditions.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors requiring controlled access.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production lines and robotics.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial safety interlock systems.
- OEM machinery and automation equipment.
