Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D024-FK21 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D024-FK21 is a robust 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 dependable switching performance, long mechanical life and high safety integrity in demanding environments.
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 behaviour is essential for preventing access to hazardous machinery during emergency stops or power failure conditions.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and a contact configuration of 1 NC (actuator) + 2 NC (solenoid), the FS2996D024-FK21 is ideal for machine guards, safety doors and automated production systems requiring reliable interlocking and redundancy.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2996D024-FK21 ensure that machine guards remain securely locked until hazardous motion has stopped. This significantly reduces the risk of operator injury and improves compliance with industrial safety standards.
The de-energised solenoid locking mechanism guarantees that the actuator remains locked during power failure, maintaining safety integrity and ensuring reliable protection even in emergency conditions.
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.
