Why Choose the Pizzato FX20C1 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX20C1 is a durable industrial safety switch with slotted lever actuation, designed for machine guarding, door position monitoring, and safety interlocking systems. As part of the well-established Pizzato FX series, it is widely used in automation environments where reliable mechanical safety detection is required.
This model uses a slotted-hole lever mechanism to detect movement of hinged or sliding guards. When the guard is opened or moved beyond its safe position, the internal switching system immediately triggers a safety circuit interruption, helping stop hazardous machine motion and protecting operators and equipment.
Built with a rugged industrial housing and precision slow-action contact system, the FX20C1 delivers long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and dependable safety operation even in demanding industrial conditions. Its robust design ensures easy integration into machine frames and control panels.
Key Advantages
- Reliable slotted lever safety switch for machine guarding applications.
- Positive opening safety contacts for fail-safe operation.
- High mechanical durability for industrial environments.
- Compact design suitable for machine integration.
- Suitable for hinged and sliding guard detection.
- Easy integration into PLC and safety systems.
Key Features
- Pizzato FX series safety switch.
- 1NO + 2NC slow-action contact configuration.
- Slotted-hole lever actuation mechanism.
- Industrial-grade technopolymer or metal housing (variant dependent).
- IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance.
- PG/M20 cable entry options (variant dependent).
- Operating temperature range: -25°C to +80°C (typical FX series range).
The Pizzato FX20C1 ensures safe machine operation by monitoring the position of guards using its slotted lever system. When movement is detected, the switch immediately opens the safety circuit, preventing hazardous operation and protecting operators.
This makes it ideal for applications requiring direct mechanical detection of guard movement, providing a simple and effective safety interlock solution for industrial machinery.
