The Pizzato FX7C1 is a compact and reliable industrial safety switch with slotted lever actuation designed for machine guarding, door position monitoring, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the proven Pizzato FX series, it is widely used in industrial automation where dependable mechanical safety detection is required.
This model uses a slotted-hole lever mechanism to detect the position of hinged or sliding guards. When the guard is opened or displaced beyond its safe operating position, the internal switching system immediately opens the safety circuit, helping stop hazardous machine motion and protecting operators and equipment.
Built with a rugged technopolymer housing and precision slow-action contacts, the FX7C1 delivers long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and consistent operation even in demanding industrial environments. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for installations where space is limited inside machine frames and control panels. ([turn0search0])
Key Advantages
Compact slotted lever safety switch for machine guarding systems.
Positive opening safety contacts for fail-safe operation.
High mechanical durability for industrial environments.
Space-saving design for tight machine installations.
IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance (typical FX series). ([turn0search11])

Reliable Machine Safety for Industrial Automation
The Pizzato FX7C1 ensures safe machine operation by continuously monitoring guard position through its slotted lever system. When movement is detected, the switch immediately changes state and interrupts the safety circuit, helping prevent hazardous operation and protecting operators.
This makes it ideal for applications requiring direct mechanical guard position detection, offering a simple and highly reliable safety interlock solution for industrial machinery.
