£20.39
The Pizzato FX696-M2 is a compact and highly reliable industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access detection, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FX series, it provides precise monitoring of hinged protective doors in industrial automation systems.
This model is engineered for direct installation on hinged machine guards, where it detects angular movement to ensure safe operation. When the guard is opened beyond the safety position, the internal switching mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts, stopping hazardous machine motion and protecting operators and equipment.
Built with a durable industrial housing and precision slow-action contact system, the FX696-M2 delivers long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and consistent safety operation even in demanding environments. Its dual M20 cable entry design allows straightforward integration into control panels and machine frames.
The Pizzato FX696-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 movement and protecting operators.
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 industrial environments.
