Why Choose the Pizzato FR 2293-M1 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator?
The Pizzato FR 2293-M1 is a compact safety switch with separate actuator designed for monitoring movable guards, safety doors and protected access points on industrial machinery. Part of the established Pizzato FR safety switch series, it combines a robust technopolymer housing with mechanically operated safety contacts for dependable guard-position monitoring.
The separate-actuator design allows the switch body to remain fixed to the machine while a compatible actuator is installed on the movable guard. When the guard is opened, withdrawal of the actuator mechanically operates the internal contact block, enabling the connected safety-related control system to identify the change in guard position and initiate the required machine response.
The FR 2293-M1 uses a 2NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration with positive-opening operation of the NC safety contact. The M1 version provides an M16 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, while the FR-series technopolymer construction provides a compact and practical solution for industrial machine guarding and safety interlocking.
Key Advantages
Purpose-designed safety switch with separate actuator for machine guard monitoring.
2NO + 1NC slow-action contacts provide safety and auxiliary switching functions.
Positive-opening operation provides direct mechanical opening of the NC safety contact.
Compact technopolymer housing designed for industrial machine installation.
Approximately 10 N actuator extraction force provides controlled mechanical guard engagement.
Key Features
Pizzato FR safety switch series.
Separate-actuator operation for movable guards and safety doors.
2NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration.
NC safety contact with positive-opening operation.
Robust technopolymer housing.
M16 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry.

Designed for industrial guard monitoring and safety interlocking.
Reliable Safety Interlocking for Industrial Machinery
Separate-actuator safety switches provide direct mechanical monitoring of movable guards by mounting the switch body on the fixed machine structure and a compatible actuator on the moving door or panel. Withdrawal of the actuator operates the internal contacts so that the safety-related control system can detect when the guard has moved away from its closed position.
The Pizzato FR 2293-M1 combines two normally open contacts and one normally closed contact in a slow-action arrangement. Positive opening of the NC safety contact provides direct mechanical contact separation, making the switch suitable for appropriately designed machine safety systems incorporating compatible safety relays, programmable safety controllers and industrial control equipment.
Typical Applications
Machine guard and safety-door monitoring.
Industrial safety interlocking systems.
Packaging and processing machinery.
Automated assembly and production equipment.
Conveyor and material-handling systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FR 2293-M1 used for?
The Pizzato FR 2293-M1 is designed for monitoring movable machine guards and safety doors, enabling a safety-related control system to detect when protected access has been opened.
What contact configuration does the FR 2293-M1 have?
The FR 2293-M1 uses a 2NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration, providing two normally open contacts together with one normally closed safety contact.
Does the Pizzato FR 2293-M1 provide positive opening?
Yes. The normally closed safety contact provides positive-opening operation, mechanically forcing the contact open when the actuator is withdrawn through the required operating travel.
What does M1 mean on the Pizzato FR 2293-M1?
The M1 suffix identifies the M16 × 1.5 threaded conduit entry, providing a threaded connection point for routing the electrical cable into the switch housing.
What is the actuator extraction force of the Pizzato FR 2293-M1?
The standard FR separate-actuator configuration has an actuator extraction force of approximately 10 N, with approximately 18 N associated with positive-opening operation.
