Why Choose the Pizzato NX P42CZ1SMK RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX P42CZ1SMK is a compact RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for reliable monitoring and controlled access to movable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato NX series, it combines non-contact RFID actuator recognition with a bistable locking mechanism for modern machine-safety and automation applications.
This configuration operates in Mode 2, with the redundant OS1 and OS2 safety outputs activated when the actuator is inserted. It provides two safety inputs, two safety outputs, separate signalling outputs for actuator-inserted and actuator-locked conditions, two solenoid activation inputs and a programming/reset input, providing comprehensive interfacing with compatible machine safety controls.
The NX P42CZ1SMK features a 12-pole M12 connector, reprogrammable actuator recognition and a hexagonal-key auxiliary release accessible from three sides. Its bistable locking mechanism provides a maximum locked-actuator holding force of 6000 N, while IP67 / IP69K protection and an illuminated RGB LED cover support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. This product code is supplied without an actuator, allowing a compatible NX actuator to be selected separately.

Reliable RFID Guard Monitoring and Locking for Industrial Machinery
The Pizzato NX series combines coded electronic guard detection with mechanical guard locking in a compact safety device. In Mode 2 operation, the NX P42CZ1SMK activates its OS1 and OS2 safety outputs when the actuator is inserted, while the separate O4 signalling output provides information about the locked condition of the actuator.
This operating arrangement is intended for applications where the safety function is based on detection of the inserted actuator while locking is managed separately by the machine control system. Combined with reprogrammable RFID recognition, bistable locking, a high holding force and robust ingress protection, the NX P42CZ1SMK provides a versatile interlocking solution for modern automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective access panels.
- Industrial automation and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine tools and automated manufacturing equipment.
- Guarded machinery requiring controlled operator access.
- Safety systems requiring RFID guard monitoring with bistable locking.
