Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896E120-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896E120-F8 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed to ensure safe access control in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it provides dependable guard monitoring and prevents machine operation when safety conditions are not met.
This version operates using an E-type working method (power-to-lock), meaning the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. This makes it suitable for applications where controlled unlocking is required only when power is removed, offering precise operational control within safety systems.
With a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and durable technopolymer housing, the FS1896E120-F8 is well suited to demanding industrial environments such as production lines, packaging machinery and access-controlled safety systems.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS1896E120-F8 are essential for managing access to hazardous areas in industrial equipment. The power-to-lock mechanism ensures that guards remain secured while the machine is energised, allowing controlled unlocking only when required.
The integration of positive opening contacts and solenoid-based locking provides reliable feedback to safety control systems, enabling compliance with modern machinery directives and ensuring safe machine operation.
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 equipment.
- Industrial access control and safety zones.
