£21.46
The Pizzato FX 596-L9 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for reliable monitoring of hinged guards, doors and access panels on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FX safety switch series, it combines a reinforced technopolymer enclosure with a long rotary actuator arrangement for dependable mechanical guard position detection.
The FX 596-L9 features a 1NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration with positive opening of the safety contact. Rather than using a removable key actuator, the switch is mechanically operated by movement of the hinged guard, providing direct monitoring of the door or guard position and reducing the opportunities for simple actuator bypass.
The L9 actuator is Ø8 × 140 mm, making this version suitable for hinged guard installations requiring an extended actuator. The FX housing is manufactured from glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer and provides IP67 protection, while dual PG13.5 threaded knock-out cable entries provide flexible connection options for industrial machine wiring.
Safety switches for hinged doors provide direct mechanical monitoring of the angular movement of a machine guard. As the guard opens, movement is transferred to the switch mechanism and changes the state of the safety contacts, allowing the connected safety circuit to detect the open condition and initiate an appropriate machine stop.
The Pizzato FX 596-L9 is particularly suited to conventional hinged guards where a long actuator can be mechanically integrated with the door or hinge arrangement. Its slow-action contacts, positive opening safety function and reinforced industrial enclosure provide dependable position monitoring for machinery and automated production equipment.
