Why Choose the Pizzato FS2196D120 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2196D120 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with guard locking, designed for industrial machinery where controlled access and operator safety are critical. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it combines mechanical interlocking with a solenoid-controlled locking system to deliver dependable safety performance in demanding environments.
This version is supplied without actuator, allowing engineers to select the most suitable actuator based on their specific machine design. The solenoid locking mechanism ensures that guards remain securely closed during operation and prevents access until safe conditions are achieved, making it ideal for applications where hazardous motion continues after shutdown.
Operating on a 120 V AC/DC supply, the FS2196D120 is suited to industrial control systems using higher voltage safety circuits. Its rotating head and rugged IP67-rated housing provide flexible installation and reliable long-term operation in harsh environments.

Advanced Guard Locking for Machine Safety
The FS2196D120 ensures that machine guards remain securely closed while hazardous motion is present. The solenoid locking system physically retains the actuator until safe conditions are achieved, preventing accidental access to moving parts and improving overall machine safety.
Its actuator-free configuration enables engineers to customise installations, making it particularly suitable for complex or bespoke machine safety systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding with interlocked access systems.
- Robotic cells and automated production lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor systems with safety gates.
- Industrial equipment requiring controlled access.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
