Why Choose the Pizzato FX5C1-M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX5C1-M2 is a compact and reliable industrial safety switch with slotted lever actuation designed for machine guarding, door position monitoring, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the widely used Pizzato FX series, it delivers dependable mechanical safety detection for modern industrial automation systems.
This model uses a slotted-hole lever mechanism to monitor the position of hinged or sliding guards. When the guard is opened or moved beyond its safe operating range, the internal switching system immediately changes state, triggering a safety circuit interruption and helping prevent hazardous machine operation.
Built with a rugged technopolymer housing and precision slow-action contacts, the FX5C1-M2 ensures long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and consistent operation even in demanding industrial environments. Its compact body design makes it suitable for installations where space is limited.

The Pizzato FX5C1-M2 ensures safe machine operation by continuously monitoring guard position through its slotted lever system. When movement is detected, the switch immediately changes state and interrupts the safety circuit, helping prevent hazardous operation and protecting operators.
This makes it ideal for applications requiring direct mechanical detection of guard movement, offering a simple and effective safety interlock solution for industrial machinery.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard and door position monitoring.
- Industrial automation safety interlocks.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor systems and material handling equipment.
- OEM machine safety integration.
- General industrial safety circuits.
