Why Choose the Pizzato FS3096E024-F8M2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS3096E024-F8M2 is a robust safety interlock switch with solenoid locking, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that hazardous areas remain secured until safe operating conditions are achieved.
This model operates using an E-type working method (power-to-lock), meaning the actuator remains locked when the solenoid is energised. This allows controlled unlocking when power is removed, making it ideal for applications requiring managed access and operational safety control.
With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, IP67 protection rating, and durable technopolymer housing, the FS3096E024-F8M2 is engineered for demanding industrial environments. It features a rotating head and universal actuator compatibility for flexible installation across a wide range of machinery.

Controlled Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
Safety interlock switches such as the FS3096E024-F8M2 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 power-to-lock mechanism ensures secure guard retention during operation, while the 2 NC actuator contacts and 1 NC solenoid contact provide 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.
