The Pizzato FR 1896-L6 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for direct monitoring of hinged guards, doors and protective access panels on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FR safety switch series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with a mechanical hinge actuator for dependable machine safeguarding.
The FR 1896-L6 features a 1 NO + 1 NC slow-action contact block with closely spaced contacts and positive-opening safety operation. Movement of the hinged guard directly operates the switch mechanism, allowing the associated safety circuit to detect when the guard moves away from its safe closed position.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the FR 1896-L6 provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653. It features a Ø8 × 120 mm hinge actuator and a single PG 13.5 threaded cable entry, providing a compact solution for machine guard monitoring.
Hinged-door safety switches provide direct electromechanical monitoring of rotating machine guards and access doors. As the guard opens, its movement operates the switch mechanism and changes the state of the safety contacts, enabling the machine safety system to stop or inhibit hazardous functions.
The Pizzato FR series provides a compact solution for industrial machine guarding where direct hinge actuation can reduce the alignment requirements associated with conventional separate-actuator switches. The FR 1896-L6 combines positive-opening operation with high ingress protection for dependable service on production and automation equipment.
