Why Choose the Pizzato HX BH22-0.2SM Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BH22-0.2SM is a robust hinge-shaped safety switch in stainless steel designed for monitoring hinged guards, doors and protective panels on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX series, it combines the mechanical hinge and safety-switching functions in a single compact assembly, allowing guard movement to be monitored without a conventional separate actuator.
The HX series is particularly suited to machinery requiring excellent corrosion resistance, hygiene and mechanical durability. Its stainless steel construction makes it an effective solution for demanding environments, including applications where equipment is exposed to frequent cleaning, moisture or aggressive operating conditions.
The HX BH22-0.2SM is supplied with a 0.2 m pre-wired cable. By integrating the switching mechanism directly into the hinge, the device provides a neat installation with fewer exposed components around the guard while supporting reliable detection of protective-door movement.

Reliable Stainless Steel Guard Monitoring
Hinge-shaped safety switches detect the position of a protective guard through its normal rotational movement. Because the safety switching mechanism is incorporated into the hinge itself, machine designers can achieve effective guard monitoring without mounting a separate switch and actuator at another point on the door.
The stainless steel construction of the Pizzato HX series extends this principle to demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance and robust mechanical construction are particularly important. The HX BH22-0.2SM therefore provides a practical safety solution for machinery fitted with hinged guards in applications requiring durable, compact components.
Typical Applications
- Hinged industrial machine guards.
- Protective access doors and safety panels.
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Machinery exposed to moisture or frequent cleaning.
- Industrial automation systems requiring corrosion-resistant safety components.
