Why Choose the Pizzato HX BEE1-5QN Electronic Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BEE1-5QN is a robust electronic safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged machine guards, safety doors and protective access panels. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it combines the mechanical hinge function with electronic safety monitoring in a compact stainless-steel assembly, providing an integrated alternative to conventional separate-actuator safety switches.
The HX BEE1-5QN operates from a 24 V DC supply and uses an electronic contact unit with 2 PNP safety outputs, 1 PNP signalling output and 2 PNP safety inputs. This configuration enables reliable integration with compatible industrial safety controllers while also providing a dedicated output for machine or guard-status signalling.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel, the HX BEE1-5QN is engineered for demanding industrial environments. The HX electronic hinge design provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653, making it particularly suitable for machinery where resistance to dust, water and intensive cleaning is important.

Reliable Electronic Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Electronic safety hinge switches integrate guard-position detection directly into the hinge of a protective door or panel. As the guard moves, the electronic safety device detects its position and communicates the appropriate state to the connected machine safety system, helping prevent hazardous machine operation when access protection is open.
The Pizzato HX Series combines electronic safety technology with an AISI 316L stainless-steel hinge body. This integrated construction minimises exposed components and avoids the separate actuator alignment associated with many traditional interlock switches, while its high degree of environmental protection supports use in demanding industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guards and safety doors.
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and process machinery.
- Industrial automation systems.
- Robot cell access panels and protective enclosures.
