Pizzato FX 693-A safety switch with separate actuator, 1NO + 1NC slow-action contacts, positive opening, technopolymer housing and IP67 protection for industrial machine guard monitoring.
£18.00
The Pizzato FX 693-A is a robust safety switch with separate actuator designed for monitoring movable guards, access doors and protective barriers on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FX series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with mechanically operated safety contacts for dependable guard-position monitoring.
The FX 693-A features a 1NO + 1NC slow-action contact configuration with positive opening of the safety contact. Its non-detachable operating head is designed for use with a separate actuator, with an actuator extraction force of approximately 10 N. The actuator is supplied separately, allowing an appropriate compatible actuator to be selected for the machine installation.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the FX 693-A uses a technopolymer housing, zinc-plated steel external components and silver contacts. It provides IP67 protection and operates across an ambient temperature range of -25 to +80 °C, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial machine-guarding applications.
Separate-actuator safety switches monitor movable guards by using an actuator mounted on the moving guard and a switch body installed on the fixed machine structure. When the guard is closed, the actuator engages the switch mechanism; opening the guard withdraws the actuator and changes the state of the safety contacts so that the associated safety system can detect access to the protected area.
The Pizzato FX 693-A combines this established mechanical interlocking principle with slow-action contacts and positive-opening operation. Its protected technopolymer enclosure, broad operating temperature range and industrial construction make it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable guard-position monitoring.
