Pizzato FS 1896E230-FM2 safety switch with straight separate actuator and solenoid guard locking, 230 V AC supply, 1 NO + 1 NC contacts and IP67 protection for industrial machine guarding.
£95.89
The Pizzato FS 1896E230-FM2 is a robust safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed to control access to hazardous areas on industrial machinery. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series safety switches, it combines solenoid-operated guard locking, safety contacts and a durable technopolymer housing for dependable machine guarding applications.
This safety switch uses the E working method, in which the actuator is locked when the solenoid is energised. This power-to-lock arrangement is suited to machinery where controlled access to a guarded area is required while the solenoid remains energised, allowing the guard locking function to be integrated into the machine safety control system.
With a 230 V AC solenoid supply, 1 NO + 1 NC contacts moved by the solenoid and IP67 protection according to EN 60529, the FS 1896E230-FM2 is suitable for demanding industrial environments. The FM2 configuration provides a straight separate actuator arrangement and three M20 × 1.5 threaded conduit entries for practical machine installation and electrical connection.
Safety switches with guard locking such as the Pizzato FS 1896E230-FM2 are designed to prevent or control access to hazardous machine areas while the guard is locked. The solenoid-operated mechanism monitors and controls the locked state of the separate actuator as part of the machine safety circuit.
The E working method provides locked actuator operation with the solenoid energised, making this configuration suitable for applications where guard locking is controlled by an energised solenoid. Positive opening contacts, the robust technopolymer housing and IP67 protection further support reliable integration into industrial safety systems.
