Why Choose the Pizzato HX BEE1-3PM Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BEE1-3PM is an electronic hinge-shaped safety switch in AISI 316L stainless steel designed for monitoring hinged guards, protective doors and access panels on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX series, it integrates guard-position detection directly into the hinge assembly, providing a compact safety solution without requiring a conventional separate actuator.
This electronic HX configuration operates from 24 V DC and provides 2 safe PNP outputs, 1 PNP signalling output and 2 safe PNP inputs. The electronic architecture enables the switch to interface with suitable machine-safety control systems while also providing status indication via an integrated LED.
The HX BEE1-3PM features a robust AISI 316L stainless steel housing with a rear electrical connection outlet. With IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653, it is particularly well suited to demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance, washdown capability and durable guard monitoring are important.

Reliable Electronic Guard Monitoring in Stainless Steel
Hinge-shaped safety switches monitor the position of a protective guard through its normal rotational movement. Integrating the sensing function into the hinge provides a compact installation with fewer exposed components and removes the need to align a conventional separate safety switch and actuator.
The electronic architecture of the Pizzato HX BEE1-3PM adds safe PNP inputs and outputs together with a dedicated signalling output and LED indication. Combined with its AISI 316L stainless steel construction and high ingress protection, this makes the device particularly suitable for machinery requiring robust, corrosion-resistant electronic guard monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Hinged industrial machine guards.
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Machinery requiring corrosion-resistant safety components.
- Washdown and hygiene-sensitive industrial environments.
- Automated machinery with electronic safety-control systems.
