Why Choose the Pizzato FS2996D120 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS2996D120 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and separate actuator, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors remain securely locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas and enhancing operator safety.
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 safety is maintained even during power failure, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
Designed with a separate actuator configuration, the FS2996D120 offers flexible installation on machine guards and doors. Its durable technopolymer housing and high ingress protection rating ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled access to hazardous zones.
- 120 V AC/DC operation compatible with industrial control systems.
- Fail-safe locking (power-to-release) improves safety integrity.
- Separate actuator design for flexible installation.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- Durable construction for long-term industrial use.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Safety
The FS2996D120 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 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.
