Why Choose the Pizzato HX BL22-0.8PM Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BL22-0.8PM is a robust stainless-steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged machine guards, safety doors and protective access panels. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it integrates the mechanical hinge and safety switching functions into one compact assembly, providing reliable guard-position monitoring without the need for a conventional separate actuator.
The HX BL22-0.8PM incorporates a 2 NO + 2 NC contact configuration with slow-action mechanical switching and positive-opening safety operation. This arrangement provides dependable switching for safety-related guard circuits while allowing the hinge itself to serve as the machine guard position-monitoring device.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel, the HX BL22-0.8PM is engineered for demanding industrial installations. It provides IP67 / IP69K protection and is supplied with a 0.8 m cable terminating in an M12 connector, supporting straightforward connection to machine safety and control systems.

Reliable Stainless-Steel Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Safety hinge switches integrate guard-position detection directly into the hinge of a protective door or panel. When the guard rotates away from its safe position, the internal mechanical contacts change state so the connected machine safety system can detect the movement and initiate the required safety response.
The Pizzato HX Series combines this integrated operating principle with durable AISI 316L stainless-steel construction and high environmental protection. This makes the HX BL22-0.8PM particularly suitable for machinery where corrosion resistance, compact installation and dependable positive-opening guard monitoring are important.
