Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-F3 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-F3 is a high-reliability safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, engineered to provide secure guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors and guards remain locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas.
This model features a 120 V AC/DC solenoid locking system and operates with a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour is essential for safety-critical applications where loss of power must not allow access to dangerous zones.
With a separate actuator design and rugged technopolymer housing, the FS2996D120-F3 offers long service life and flexibility in installation. Its rotating head and adjustable actuator allow easy alignment, making it ideal for integration into industrial safety systems and automation environments.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled access to hazardous areas.
- 120 V AC/DC solenoid compatible with industrial control circuits.
- Fail-safe locking (power-to-release) ensures enhanced operator protection.
- Separate actuator design allows flexible installation.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- Robust construction for long-term industrial reliability.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-F3 is designed to ensure that machinery cannot operate unless guards are securely closed and locked. Its fail-safe design keeps the actuator locked when power is removed, preventing unintended access during power loss or emergency situations.
The separate actuator allows flexible installation on hinged or sliding doors, while the solenoid-controlled release ensures that access is only granted when the machine reaches a safe state. This makes it suitable for high-risk industrial machinery and safety-critical automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door interlocking.
- Automated production lines and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- CNC machines and industrial equipment.
- Access control for hazardous zones.
