Why Choose the Pizzato FP 6R2-C10F2M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FP 6R2-C10F2M2 is a robust safety switch with manual mechanical delay and separate actuator designed for machine guarding applications where hazardous movement may continue for a short period after a stop command. As part of the Pizzato FP series, it combines mechanical guard interlocking with delayed manual release to help control access to hazardous machinery.
The FP 6R2-C10F2M2 uses a separate articulated actuator and a mechanically operated delayed-release mechanism, making it suitable for guards protecting equipment with residual movement or stored mechanical energy. Positive-opening safety contacts provide dependable switching when the actuator is released from the interlock.
Its durable technopolymer housing, IP67 protection rating and M20 × 1.5 cable entry make the FP 6R2-C10F2M2 suitable for industrial machinery, automated production equipment and OEM safety installations requiring a compact mechanically delayed guard interlock.

Mechanical Delayed Guard Release for Industrial Machinery
Safety switches with manual mechanical delay are used where a machine cannot be considered immediately safe when power is removed. Rotating components, flywheels, blades and other high-inertia mechanisms can continue moving after a stop signal, so delayed guard release provides additional time before an operator can gain access to the hazardous area.
The Pizzato FP 6R2-C10F2M2 achieves this function mechanically rather than through a powered solenoid. Its separate-actuator arrangement allows the switch to monitor and retain a movable guard while the manual release mechanism provides controlled unlocking for appropriate machine-safety applications.
Typical Applications
- Guards protecting rotating machinery.
- Machine tools and cutting equipment.
- Grinding, crushing and processing machinery.
- High-inertia motors, pulleys and flywheel systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Industrial automation equipment.
- OEM machinery requiring mechanically delayed guard access.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FP 6R2-C10F2M2 used for?
The Pizzato FP 6R2-C10F2M2 is used for machine guard interlocking where access should be mechanically delayed after a machine stop command.
Does the FP 6R2-C10F2M2 use a separate actuator?
Yes. It is a separate-actuator safety switch, with the actuator mounted to the movable guard and inserted into the switch when the guard is closed.
How is the guard released on the FP 6R2-C10F2M2?
The switch uses a manual mechanical delayed-release mechanism, providing controlled mechanical unlocking without requiring a solenoid for the delay function.
Does the FP 6R2-C10F2M2 have positive-opening contacts?
Yes. The switch incorporates positive-opening contact operation for dependable mechanical opening of the safety circuit.
What is the protection rating of the FP 6R2-C10F2M2?
The switch is rated IP67, making it suitable for industrial environments requiring protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed.
What cable entry does the FP 6R2-C10F2M2 use?
The M2 version provides an M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry for connection to the machine safety circuit.
Where is a manual-delay safety switch typically required?
It is typically used on machinery with residual hazardous movement, such as rotating blades, flywheels, grinding equipment and other mechanisms that may take time to stop completely.
