Why Choose the Pizzato NX B42CZ1SMK-F60 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX B42CZ1SMK-F60 is a compact RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for monitoring movable guards and controlling access to hazardous areas of industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato NX Series, it combines non-contact RFID actuator recognition, bistable electromagnetic locking and electronic safety outputs in a robust machine-safety device.
This configuration is supplied with the VN NX-F60 low-level coded RFID actuator. F60 actuators use a common RFID code, providing low-level coding according to EN ISO 14119. The switch operates in Mode 1, where safety outputs OS1 and OS2 are active when the actuator is inserted and locked, supporting applications where access must remain prevented until a safe condition is established.
The NX B42CZ1SMK-F60 provides a maximum actuator holding force of 6000 N and uses a bistable locking principle. The CZ configuration incorporates a hexagonal-key auxiliary release accessible from three sides, while a 12-pole M12 connector provides straightforward electrical integration. Protection to IP67 / IP69K makes the switch suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable High-Force RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
The Pizzato NX Series combines non-contact RFID guard detection with a powerful locking mechanism for machinery where hazardous conditions may continue after a stop command. Mode 1 monitors the guard-locking condition so that the safety outputs become active when the coded actuator is correctly inserted and mechanically locked.
With a maximum holding force of 6000 N, the NX B42CZ1SMK-F60 provides substantial guard retention despite its compact format. The three-sided hex-key release increases installation flexibility, while M12 connectivity, multicolour status indication and IP67 / IP69K environmental protection support efficient commissioning and dependable operation in industrial safety systems.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety doors and movable guards.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machinery with hazardous run-down or residual movement.
- Industrial applications requiring high-force monitored guard locking.
