Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-F3M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-F3M2 is a high-integrity safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for advanced machine guarding and controlled access in industrial automation. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors remain securely locked during hazardous operation, preventing access until safe conditions are achieved.
This model features a 120 V AC/DC solenoid locking system operating on a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe design ensures that loss of power does not compromise safety, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
With a separate adjustable actuator and rotating head, the FS2996D120-F3M2 offers flexible installation across a wide range of machine guard configurations. Its rugged technopolymer housing and IP67 protection rating ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled access to hazardous areas.
- 120 V AC/DC operation suitable for industrial control systems.
- Fail-safe locking (power-to-release) enhances operator protection.
- Separate actuator design for flexible mounting and alignment.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- High durability for long-term industrial use.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-F3M2 ensures 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 conditions.
The separate actuator allows 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 ideal 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.
