Why Choose the Pizzato HX BL22-10SNH15 Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BL22-10SNH15 is a robust stainless steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged guards and safety doors on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it combines the mechanical hinge and electrical safety switching functions in a single compact assembly, eliminating the need for a conventional separate actuator.
The HX BL22-10SNH15 uses the L22 mechanical contact block, providing 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts with close switching action and positive opening. This four-contact arrangement provides flexible switching for machine safety monitoring and auxiliary control functions while maintaining direct mechanical operation through movement of the hinged guard.
This version features a 15° activation angle, a right-hand movable part and a bottom cable outlet. Its AISI 316L stainless steel housing, 10 m oil-resistant PVC cable and IP67 / IP69K protection make it particularly suitable for hygienic, corrosive and demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Integrated safety hinge switch for reliable hinged-guard monitoring.
- 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts support safety and auxiliary switching functions.
- Positive-opening operation provides direct mechanical opening of the safety contacts.

Reliable Mechanical Safety Monitoring for Hinged Guards
The Pizzato HX Series integrates the electrical safety switching mechanism directly into the mechanical hinge. Movement of the machine guard therefore actuates the safety contacts without requiring a separate key or external actuator, providing a compact and discreet solution for monitoring hinged access points.
The HX BL22-10SNH15 combines an L22 slow-action 2NO + 2NC contact block with positive opening and a 15° activation angle. Its right-hand movable part, bottom cable outlet and long pre-wired cable make it particularly useful for machine designs requiring defined hinge orientation and extended cable routing.
