Why Choose the Pizzato NX P31AZ1SMK-F61 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX P31AZ1SMK-F61 is a compact and robust RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for monitoring movable guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato NX Series, it combines contactless RFID actuator recognition with an integrated locking mechanism for dependable machine safety and controlled access applications.
This NX Series switch uses a Mode 2 bistable solenoid, with safety outputs OS1 and OS2 activated when the actuator is inserted. It provides two safety inputs, two safety outputs, dedicated actuator-inserted and actuator-locked signalling outputs, two solenoid activation inputs and a reset input, supporting straightforward integration into modern industrial safety systems.
The NX P31AZ1SMK-F61 is supplied complete with the VN NX-F61 high-level coded RFID actuator and features an axial 12-pole M12 connector. A maximum locked-actuator holding force of 6000 N, IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653 make it suitable for demanding machine-building and automation environments.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches with guard locking provide both guard-position monitoring and controlled access to hazardous machinery. The Pizzato NX Series uses contactless RFID technology to identify the coded actuator while the integrated locking mechanism retains the guard when required by the machine safety system.
The NX P31AZ1SMK-F61 is particularly suitable for machinery where a hazardous condition can remain after a stop command, including equipment with mechanical inertia, high temperatures or pressure. Its compact construction, high-level coded actuator, strong guard-locking force and comprehensive safety and signalling interfaces make it well suited to modern automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard and access-door interlocking.
- Robotic cells and automated production systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Assembly and material handling equipment.
- Machinery with hazardous mechanical run-down or inertia.
- Equipment involving high-temperature or pressurised processes.
- Industrial machinery requiring controlled access to hazardous areas.
