Why Choose the Pizzato HX BH22-2PNH15 Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BH22-2PNH15 is a robust stainless-steel 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 and safety switching functions within one compact assembly, providing reliable guard-position monitoring without requiring a conventional separate actuator.
The HX BH22-2PNH15 uses the H22 contact block with 2 NO + 2 NC contacts, featuring slow-action, make-before-break switching and positive-opening operation. This mechanical switching arrangement provides dependable operation for safety-related guard circuits in industrial machinery and automated equipment.
Manufactured with a rugged AISI 316L stainless-steel housing, this HX Series hinge switch offers excellent corrosion resistance together with IP67 / IP69K protection. The 2PN configuration uses a 2 m PVC cable with rear connection output, while the H15 variant identifies the specified hinge configuration for this exact model.

Reliable Stainless-Steel Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery
Safety hinge switches integrate the electrical guard-monitoring function directly into the hinge of a protective door or panel. Movement of the guard operates the internal contacts so the connected safety control system can detect when the protective device has moved away from its safe position and respond accordingly.
The Pizzato HX Series combines this integrated operating principle with durable AISI 316L stainless-steel construction. Its positive-opening contacts and high environmental protection make the HX BH22-2PNH15 particularly suitable for machine-building applications where reliable switching, corrosion resistance and a clean integrated guard design are required.
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.
- OEM machinery requiring stainless-steel safety components.
