Why Choose the Pizzato HX BEE1-KAMH90 Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BEE1-KAMH90 is an electronic stainless steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged guards and safety doors on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it integrates the safety electronics directly into the mechanical hinge, providing a compact and discreet guard-monitoring solution without requiring a conventional separate actuator.
The BEE1 electronic contact block provides 2 PNP safety outputs, 1 PNP signalling output and 2 PNP safety inputs, together with LED status indication. Its redundant electronic architecture supports integration into high-performance machinery safety systems and enables compatible Pizzato safety devices to be connected in series when used with appropriate safety control equipment.
The HX BEE1-KAMH90 features an AISI 316L stainless steel housing, a top-mounted M12 8-pole connector and a 24 V DC supply. The H90 variant has a 90° base activation angle, while the HX design allows fine adjustment of the switching point. With IP67 / IP69K protection, it is particularly suited to hygienic, corrosive and demanding industrial environments.

Advanced Electronic Safety Monitoring for Hinged Guards
The HX BEE1 Series integrates redundant safety electronics within the mechanical hinge, allowing the position of a hinged machine guard to be monitored without a separate external actuator. This integrated arrangement provides a clean installation and makes the safety switching device less obvious and consequently more difficult to tamper with than many conventional external guard-switch arrangements.
The H90 configuration provides a 90° base operating angle, while the HX mechanism allows the switching point to be finely adjusted during installation. Combined with the electronic safety inputs and outputs, stainless steel construction and convenient M12 connection, the HX BEE1-KAMH90 provides a versatile solution for sophisticated industrial guarding systems.
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.
- Chemical processing machinery.
- Marine and corrosion-prone environments.
- Hygienic production and packaging equipment.
- Industrial machine safety doors and hinged guards.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- OEM machinery and industrial safety systems.
