HX CD Pizzato Additional hinge in stainless steel HX series
MPN: HX CD
Alt. SKU: HXCD
Why Choose the Pizzato HXCD Additional Hinge?
The Pizzato HXCD is a robust stainless steel additional hinge designed for use with Pizzato HX series safety hinge switches. Unlike active safety hinges, this component provides purely mechanical support, helping to stabilise guard doors and ensure correct alignment in safety-critical installations.
Manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, the HXCD is built for demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance, hygiene, and durability are essential. It is particularly suited to applications in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.
As part of the HX series accessory range, the HXCD allows installers to distribute the load of heavy or large guard doors across multiple hinges. This helps maintain accurate operation of the safety hinge switch and extends the overall service life of the installation.

Mechanical Support for Safety Hinge Systems
In installations using HX series safety hinges, additional hinges such as the HXCD are essential for supporting the mechanical load of guard doors. This prevents excessive stress on the safety hinge switch itself and ensures consistent switching performance over time.
By distributing forces across multiple hinges, the HXCD helps maintain precise alignment and improves the reliability of safety monitoring systems in industrial machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard doors.
- Food and beverage processing equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and hygienic environments.
- Heavy-duty access panels and enclosures.
- Automation systems requiring multiple hinges.
- Installations using HX series safety hinge switches.
