Why Choose the Pizzato HX BL22-KSMH90 Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BL22-KSMH90 is a robust hinged-shaped safety switch designed for monitoring hinged guards, doors and protective access points on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato HX series, the switch combines the mechanical hinge and safety switching function in a compact assembly, helping create clean and effective machine guarding installations.
Manufactured with an AISI 316L stainless steel housing, the HX BL22-KSMH90 is particularly well suited to demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance, durability and hygienic construction are important. Its enclosure provides IP67 and IP69K protection, supporting installation in applications exposed to dust, moisture and intensive cleaning processes.
The HX BL22-KSMH90 incorporates a 2NO + 2NC slow-action contact block with positive-opening safety contacts and uses an 8-pole M12 connector for convenient electrical integration. The H90 configuration provides a 90° preset operating angle, making this version suitable for guard arrangements requiring this hinge switching position.

Reliable Safety Monitoring for Hinged Machine Guards
Safety hinge switches combine a mechanical hinge with an electrical guard-monitoring function. When a hinged guard or door moves from its safe position, the switch changes the state of its safety contacts so that the associated machine safety circuit can detect the opening and initiate the required protective response.
The Pizzato HX series is designed for installations where conventional external safety switches and separate actuators may be undesirable. Integrating the switching mechanism into a robust stainless steel hinge provides a compact installation while the positive-opening contacts support reliable monitoring of industrial guards and access doors.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors and access panels.
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Washdown and hygienic processing environments.
- Automated manufacturing cells and production lines.
- Industrial equipment requiring corrosion-resistant guard monitoring.
