£24.68
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.
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.
