The Pizzato FX2196-XM2 is a heavy-duty industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access control, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the robust Pizzato FX series, it provides reliable monitoring of hinged guards in automated machinery and industrial safety systems.
This model is engineered for installation on hinged protective doors and machine guards, where it detects angular movement to ensure safe operation. When the guard is opened beyond the safety position, the internal switching mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts, stopping hazardous machine movement and protecting operators.
Built with a rugged industrial metal housing and precision slow-action contact system, the FX2196-XM2 ensures long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and consistent safety operation even in harsh environments. Its dual M20 cable entry design allows easy integration into control panels and machine frames.
Key Advantages
High-reliability hinged safety switch for machine guarding systems.
Direct hinge-based actuation (no separate actuator required).
Fail-safe operation with positive opening safety contacts.
Rugged metal housing for industrial environments.
Easy integration into safety control circuits and PLC systems.
Long mechanical life up to 1,000,000 cycles.
Key Features
Pizzato FX series hinged safety switch.
NC x2 + NO slow-action contact configuration.
Angular actuation via hinge rotation mechanism.
Industrial-grade housing construction.
IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance.
Dual M20x1.5 cable entries for flexible wiring installation.

Reliable Machine Safety for Industrial Automation
The Pizzato FX2196-XM2 ensures safe machine operation by continuously monitoring the position of hinged guards. When the guard is opened, the switch immediately triggers a safety circuit interruption, preventing hazardous movement and protecting operators and equipment.
This makes it ideal for applications where direct hinge-based monitoring is preferred, eliminating the need for separate actuators while maintaining strong and reliable safety performance in industrial automation systems.
Typical Applications
Hinged machine guard monitoring systems.
Industrial automation safety circuits.
