Why Choose the Pizzato FS2896D230-FK21 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2896D230-FK21 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for secure machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation systems. As part of the reliable Pizzato FS series, it delivers robust construction, dependable 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 essential for protecting operators and preventing access to hazardous machinery during emergency stop 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-FK21 is ideal for safety doors, machine guards and automated production systems requiring reliable interlocking and access control.
