Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D230-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?

The Pizzato FS2896D230-F8 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed to ensure secure machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation environments. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it offers robust construction, reliable switching performance and long-term operational safety.

This model features a separate actuator with guard locking and operates using a de-energised solenoid locking principle, ensuring the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe design is critical for protecting operators and preventing access to hazardous machinery during emergency stops or power failure conditions.

With a 230 V AC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid), the FS2896D230-F8 is ideal for safety doors, machine guards and automated production systems requiring dependable interlocking and access control.

Key Advantages

  • Safety interlock switch with guard locking for hazardous machinery.
  • De-energised solenoid locking ensures fail-safe operation.
  • Combination of safety and signalling contacts for flexible control integration.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for industrial environments.
  • IP67 protection rating for resistance to dust and water ingress.
  • Suitable for integration with safety relays and PLC systems.

Key Features

  • Pizzato FS series safety switch with solenoid and separate actuator.
  • 230 V AC solenoid supply.
  • Contact configuration: 1 NC (actuator) + 1 NO + 1 NC (solenoid).
  • Positive opening NC contact for safety circuits.
  • Locked actuator with de-energised solenoid.
  • Rotating head for flexible installation.
  • Universal actuator configuration (F8 variant).
  • PG13.5 threaded conduit entries for industrial wiring.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety

Safety interlock switches such as the FS2896D230-F8 ensure that machine guards remain securely locked until hazardous motion has stopped. This significantly reduces the risk of operator injury and ensures safe machine operation in industrial environments.

The de-energised solenoid locking mechanism guarantees that the actuator remains locked during power failure, maintaining safety integrity in emergency situations and ensuring compliance with strict industrial safety requirements.

Typical Applications

  • Machine guard doors and safety enclosures.
  • Automated production lines and robotic systems.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Industrial access control systems.
  • OEM machinery and automation integration.
