Why Choose the Pizzato FX2196-M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX2196-M2 is a heavy-duty industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access control, and safety interlocking in automated systems. As part of the advanced Pizzato FX series, it delivers reliable monitoring of hinged guards in demanding industrial environments.
This model is engineered for direct mounting on hinged machine guards and protective doors, where it detects angular movement to ensure safe operation. When the guard is opened beyond the safety position, the internal switching system immediately opens the safety contacts, stopping hazardous machine movement and protecting operators and equipment.
Built with a rugged metal housing and precision slow-action contact mechanism, the FX2196-M2 ensures long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and consistent safety operation even in harsh industrial conditions. Its dual M20 cable entry design allows simple and secure integration into control panels and machine frames.
Key Advantages
- High-reliability hinged safety switch for machine guarding systems.
- Direct hinge-based actuation (no separate actuator required).
- Fail-safe operation with positive opening safety contacts.
- Rugged metal industrial housing for harsh environments.
- Easy integration into safety control circuits and PLC systems.
- Long mechanical life up to 1,000,000 cycles.
Key Features
- Pizzato FX series hinged safety switch.
- NC x3 slow-action contact configuration.
- Angular actuation via hinge rotation mechanism.
- Industrial-grade metal housing construction.
- IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance.
- Dual M20x1.5 cable entries for flexible wiring.
- Operating temperature range: -25°C to +80°C.
The Pizzato FX2196-M2 ensures safe machine operation by continuously monitoring the position of hinged guards. When the guard is opened, the switch immediately triggers a safety circuit interruption, preventing hazardous machine movement and protecting operators from risk.
This makes it ideal for applications where direct hinge-based monitoring is preferred, eliminating the need for separate actuators while maintaining strong and reliable safety performance in modern industrial automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guard monitoring systems.
- Industrial automation safety circuits.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Robotics safety enclosures.
- Material handling equipment.
- OEM machine design and integration.
