Why Choose the Pizzato HXCB Additional Hinge?
The Pizzato HXCB is a high-quality stainless steel additional hinge designed specifically for use with Pizzato HX series safety hinge switches. Unlike standard safety hinge switches, this component does not include electrical contacts and is used purely as a mechanical support hinge to ensure proper alignment and load distribution on heavy safety guards.
Manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, the HXCB is engineered for use in demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance and hygienic design are essential. It is commonly used alongside HX series safety hinges to support larger or heavier doors and maintain long-term system reliability.
With a robust construction and matching design to HX series devices, the HXCB ensures seamless integration while maintaining consistent mechanical performance. It is ideal for applications where multiple hinges are required to safely support guard doors without compromising safety switch operation.

Mechanical Support for Safety Hinges
In HX series installations, additional hinges such as the HXCB are used to support the weight of guard doors and ensure correct mechanical alignment. The safety hinge switch itself should not bear the full mechanical load, and therefore auxiliary hinges are essential for proper installation and long-term durability.
By distributing mechanical stress across multiple hinges, the HXCB helps maintain accurate switching performance and prevents premature wear of the safety device.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors.
- Food and beverage processing equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and hygienic environments.
- Heavy-duty access panels and enclosures.
- Automation systems requiring multi-hinge support.
- Installations using HX series safety hinge switches.
