Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D230-F3M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D230-F3M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for high-risk industrial machinery where controlled access and operator safety are critical. As part of the advanced Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors remain securely locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous zones.
This version operates with a 230 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 protection is maintained during power loss or emergency conditions, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
Featuring a separate actuator adjustable in two directions and a rotating head, the FS2996D230-F3M2 offers flexible installation across a wide range of guard configurations. Its rugged technopolymer housing and IP67 protection rating ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D230-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 outages or emergency stops.
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 industrial zones.
