Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D120-F3M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2896D120-F3M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation systems. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it delivers high durability, dependable switching performance and compliance with modern machine safety standards.
This model features a separate actuator with guard locking and operates using a de-energised solenoid locking principle, ensuring that the actuator remains securely locked when power is removed. This fail-safe design is critical for protecting operators and maintaining safe conditions during emergency stops or power failure.
With a 120 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid), the FS2896D120-F3M2 is ideal for safety doors, machine guards and automated production systems requiring dependable interlocking and access control.
