£21.21
The Pizzato FX1496-M2 is a robust industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access detection, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the reliable Pizzato FX series, it provides dependable protection for operators and machinery in automated industrial environments.
This model is engineered to be mounted on hinged guards or moving machine panels, where it monitors angular movement to ensure safe operating conditions. When the guard is opened or rotated beyond the safety threshold, the switch immediately opens the safety contacts, stopping machine operation and reducing the risk of accidents.
Built with a durable metal housing and precision internal switching mechanism, the FX1496-M2 is designed for long mechanical life and consistent performance even in harsh industrial environments. Its compact hinged design and dual M20 cable entries make it easy to integrate into machine frames and safety systems.
The Pizzato FX1496-M2 ensures machinery is safely controlled by detecting the angular position of hinged guards. When the guard is opened, the internal mechanism activates and immediately opens the safety circuit, preventing machine operation.
This makes it ideal for applications where continuous guard monitoring is required without separate actuators, offering a compact and efficient safety solution for modern industrial systems.
