Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120-M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120-M2 is a high-reliability safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed to provide secure guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the trusted 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 using a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour ensures that safety is maintained even during power loss, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.
With its separate actuator design, the FS2996D120-M2 offers flexible installation on machine guards and doors. Its rugged industrial construction and high protection rating ensure long-term durability in demanding environments.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled machine access.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120-M2 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 guards, 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.
