Why Choose the Pizzato FP6R2-L20 Safety Limit Switch?
The Pizzato FP6R2-L20 is a high-performance safety limit switch with manual mechanical delay, designed for controlled stopping and safe access management in industrial machinery. Manufactured by Pizzato Elettrica, it is engineered for safety-critical environments where machinery must fully stop before access is permitted.
This model features an extended mechanical delay of approximately 20 seconds, making it ideal for applications with significant inertia where longer run-down times must be considered. This ensures that hazardous motion has completely ceased before the safety contacts are released.
Designed for use with a separate actuator, the FP6R2-L20 forms part of a reliable key-operated safety interlock system. Its robust construction and long-delay functionality make it particularly suitable for heavy-duty industrial equipment and automated production systems.
Key Advantages
- Manual mechanical delay for controlled and safe machine stopping.
- Extended delay (approx. 20 seconds) for high-inertia machinery.
- Positive opening contacts for enhanced safety reliability.
- Robust technopolymer housing for long service life.
- Reliable integration into safety interlock systems.
- Supports compliance with EN ISO 13849-1 safety standards.
Key Features
- Pizzato FP6R2 series safety switch.
- Manual mechanical delay function (long delay variant).
- Approx. 20 second delay knob.
- Designed for use with separate actuator systems.
- 1 NO + 1 NC slow-action contacts.
- Positive opening safety contacts.
- High mechanical endurance and switching reliability.
Controlled Safety Interlocking for High-Inertia Machinery
The FP6R2-L20 safety switch is designed to prevent access to hazardous areas until machinery has completely stopped. The extended delay mechanism ensures that safety contacts remain engaged long enough for heavy or rotating components to come to rest, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
This makes it especially suitable for large machinery, conveyors and systems with extended stopping times. Its combination of positive opening contacts and IP67 protection ensures dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Heavy machinery with long run-down times.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Rotating equipment and processing machinery.
- Automated production lines.
- Safety interlock systems with extended delay requirements.
- Access control in hazardous zones.
