Why Choose the Pizzato FS2998D024-F8 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS2998D024-F8 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, engineered for high-integrity guard monitoring in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the durable Pizzato FS series, it ensures that hazardous machine areas remain inaccessible until safe operating conditions are achieved.
This model uses a D-type working method (power-to-release), meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is de-energised. This fail-safe behaviour ensures that guards remain secured in the event of power loss or emergency stop conditions, significantly enhancing operator safety.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and robust technopolymer housing, the FS2998D024-F8 is designed for demanding industrial environments. It features a rotating head with auxiliary release and universal actuator compatibility for flexible installation across a wide range of machine guarding applications.

Fail-Safe Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS2998D024-F8 are essential for protecting operators and ensuring safe machine operation. They prevent access to hazardous zones while machinery is running and only allow access once safe conditions are achieved.
The fail-safe locking mechanism ensures the actuator remains secured even during power loss, while the dual NC contact configuration provides reliable feedback for integration with safety PLCs and control systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety interlock systems.
- Automated production and assembly lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Robotic cells and CNC machinery.
- Industrial safety zones and controlled access systems.
