Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D024-F8M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D024-F8M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that hazardous machine movements are safely managed by preventing access until safe conditions are met.
This model uses a D-type working method (power-to-release), meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. This fail-safe principle ensures that guards stay secured in the event of power loss or emergency stop conditions, significantly improving operator safety.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and rugged technopolymer housing, the FS2996D024-F8M2 is designed for demanding industrial environments. It features a rotating head with auxiliary release and universal actuator compatibility for flexible installation across a wide range of machinery.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2996D024-F8M2 are essential for protecting operators and ensuring safe machine operation. They prevent access to hazardous zones while machinery is running and only allow access once safe conditions are achieved.
The fail-safe locking mechanism ensures the actuator remains secured even during power loss, while the 1 NO and 2 NC contact configuration provides reliable feedback for integration with safety PLCs and control systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Automated production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Robotic cells and CNC machinery.
- Industrial safety zones and controlled access systems.
