Why Choose the Pizzato HX BL22-KAMH15 Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BL22-KAMH15 is a heavy-duty stainless-steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged machine guards, safety doors and protective access panels. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it combines the hinge and mechanical safety-switching functions in a single assembly, providing a compact solution for guard-position monitoring without a conventional separate actuator.
The HX BL22-KAMH15 features an L22 contact block with 2 NO + 2 NC contacts, using slow-action closer switching with positive-opening operation. This mechanical arrangement provides dependable guard detection for safety-related machine circuits while keeping the switching mechanism integrated within the hinge assembly.
Manufactured with an AISI 316L stainless-steel housing, the HX BL22-KAMH15 provides excellent resistance to corrosion and demanding operating conditions. It offers IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653, while the KAM configuration provides a top-output M12 8-pole connector. The H15 suffix identifies the specific H15 configuration of this HX variant.

Reliable Stainless-Steel Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Safety hinge switches integrate guard-position detection directly into the hinge of a protective door or access panel. Rotation of the guard mechanically actuates the internal contacts, allowing the connected safety control system to detect when the protective device moves away from its safe position and initiate the required machine safety response.
The Pizzato HX Series combines this integrated safety principle with rugged AISI 316L stainless-steel construction, positive-opening contacts and high environmental protection. The connector-equipped HX BL22-KAMH15 is therefore well suited to machinery requiring corrosion resistance, convenient wiring and dependable mechanical monitoring of hinged guards.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guards and safety doors.
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and process machinery.
- Industrial automation systems.
- Robot cell access panels and protective enclosures.
- OEM machinery requiring corrosion-resistant safety components.
