The Pizzato FR 596-L9 is a robust and reliable safety switch for hinged doors designed to monitor movable guards, gates and protective doors on industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FR Series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing, positive-opening safety contacts and a long Ø8 × 140 mm actuator for dependable electromechanical guard-position monitoring.
This hinged-door safety switch incorporates a 1 NO + 1 NC snap-action contact configuration with positive opening of the safety contact. The switching mechanism responds directly to rotational movement of the hinged guard, allowing the connected machine safety circuit to detect opening after only a small degree of rotation and initiate the required stop function.
The FR 596-L9 features a Ø8 × 140 mm actuator, a single PG13.5 threaded cable entry and galvanised-steel external metal parts. Its enclosure provides IP67 and IP69K protection, while an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C makes it suitable for demanding industrial machinery and automation environments.
Safety switches for hinged doors monitor the rotational position of movable guards protecting hazardous areas of industrial machinery. The switch is mechanically actuated as the guard rotates between its closed and open positions, allowing the safety contacts to change state and enabling the connected safety system to respond when access to the hazardous area becomes possible.
The Pizzato FR Series hinged-door switches are designed to provide sensitive guard monitoring and positive contact opening after only a small degree of rotation. Their construction is particularly useful in industrial environments where dust or dirt could interfere with conventional separate-actuator safety switches, while the adjustable head provides flexibility for different installation positions.
