Overview
The Pizzato FY 60FD6D0B is an FY Series safety switch with a separate actuator and solenoid-operated guard lock, designed for monitoring movable machine guards and controlling access to hazardous areas. It combines guard position detection, monitored locking and manual release functions within a robust industrial safety device.
This model uses Pizzato working principle D, meaning the actuator remains locked while the 24 V AC/DC solenoid is de-energised and is released when the solenoid is energised. Its slow-action contact unit provides 1 NO contact operated by the actuator and 1 NO + 2 NC contacts operated by the solenoid. The orientable head incorporates both an auxiliary key release and an escape release button, while freely connectable green and red LEDs provide configurable visual status indication.
Advantages
- Combines guard position monitoring and solenoid-operated locking within a single safety switch.
- Principle D keeps the actuator locked while the solenoid is de-energised.
- Maximum actuator holding force of 2,800 N provides secure mechanical guard retention.
- Separate actuator and solenoid contacts support independent monitoring of guard and locking conditions.
- Auxiliary key release enables authorised manual release of the locking mechanism.
- Integrated escape release button provides a means of releasing the guard from inside the protected area.
- Green and red LEDs can be freely connected for application-specific status indication.
- IP67 and IP69K protection supports installation in demanding industrial environments.

Motor Control
The FY 60FD6D0B is designed for integration into machine safety and motor control systems where a movable guard must remain securely locked while hazardous operating conditions are present. The separate actuator monitors the physical position of the guard, while the solenoid-operated mechanism provides guard locking and dedicated contacts for monitoring its state.
With working principle D, the actuator remains locked while the 24 V AC/DC solenoid is de-energised and is released when the solenoid is energised. This arrangement is particularly useful for machinery with hazardous run-down time, where loss of solenoid power should not automatically release the guard. The auxiliary key release and escape release button provide additional methods of manually releasing the locking mechanism when required.
Applications
- Industrial machine guard interlocking
- Machinery with hazardous run-down time
- Robotic cells and automated production lines
- Packaging and processing machinery
- Conveyor and materials handling systems
- Machine tools and machining centres
- Sliding and hinged safety doors
- Enclosed machinery requiring an internal escape release
FAQ
