Why Choose the Pizzato FR 33C4 Safety Switch with Slotted Hole Lever?

The Pizzato FR 33C4 is a robust safety switch with slotted hole lever designed for reliable mechanical position monitoring on industrial machinery, guards and moving mechanisms. As part of the established Pizzato FR safety switch series, it combines a compact technopolymer housing with a rotary slotted-hole lever actuator for dependable machine safety and automation applications.

The FR 33C4 incorporates a 1NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration. The normally closed contact provides positive-opening operation for safety-related monitoring, while the normally open contact can provide auxiliary signalling. Its right-hand straight slotted lever provides a practical mechanical interface for detecting angular movement and position.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the FR 33C4 features a technopolymer housing, IP67 protection and a single PG13.5 threaded cable entry. Its mechanically operated design provides repeatable position detection without requiring electronic sensing components, making it suitable for machine builders and industrial automation engineers.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-built safety switch with slotted hole lever for mechanical position monitoring.
  • 1NO + 1NC slow-action contacts support safety monitoring and auxiliary signalling.
  • Positive-opening NC contact provides dependable direct mechanical contact separation.
  • Slotted lever arrangement allows effective monitoring of angular movement.
  • Durable technopolymer housing for industrial machinery applications.
  • IP67 protection provides resistance to dust and water ingress when correctly installed.
  • Single PG13.5 conduit entry supports straightforward electrical installation.
  • High mechanical durability supports frequent operation in automated machinery.

  • Pizzato FR safety switch series.
  • Slotted hole lever actuator for rotary position monitoring.
  • 1NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration.
  • Positive-opening operation of the normally closed safety contact.
  • Technopolymer housing.
  • PG13.5 threaded conduit entry.
  • IP67 environmental protection.
  • Right-hand straight lever configuration.
  • Mechanical operating principle for dependable position detection.
  • Designed for industrial machine safety and automation applications.

Reliable Mechanical Position Monitoring for Industrial Machinery

Safety switches with slotted hole levers such as the Pizzato FR 33C4 detect the physical position or movement of machine guards and mechanical components through direct actuator operation. Angular movement applied to the lever operates the internal contacts, allowing an appropriately designed machine control or safety system to detect the position of the monitored mechanism.

The slotted lever arrangement is particularly useful where a direct mechanical connection is required between the safety switch and a rotating or hinged component. Combined with slow-action contacts, positive opening and robust FR-series construction, the FR 33C4 provides dependable electromechanical monitoring for industrial machinery.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machine guards and access mechanisms.
  • Hinged guards and rotating machine components.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Conveyor and material handling equipment.
  • Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
  • Automated assembly equipment.
  • Mechanical position and end-of-travel monitoring.
  • Industrial automation and machine safety systems.
