Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-F8M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-F8M2 is a high-integrity safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, engineered for demanding industrial safety applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety guards remain securely locked during machine operation, preventing access to hazardous areas and protecting operators.
This model operates with a 120 V AC/DC solenoid and uses 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 high-risk machinery and safety-critical systems.
Designed with a separate universal actuator and a rotating head, the FS2996D120-F8M2 provides flexible installation and precise alignment. 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 installation.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- High durability for long-term industrial use.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-F8M2 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 situations.
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 suitable for high-risk industrial machinery and safety-critical automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door interlocking.
- Automated production lines and robotic systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- CNC machines and industrial equipment.
- Access control for hazardous zones.
