FR 2096-L5M1 Pizzato Safety switch for hinged doors

Why Choose the Pizzato FR 2096-L5M1 Safety Switch for Hinged Doors?

The Pizzato FR 2096-L5M1 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for monitoring hinged guards and protective access doors on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FR safety switch series, it combines a durable technopolymer housing with a hinge-operated actuator and positive-opening safety contacts for dependable machine guarding applications.

This safety switch incorporates a 1 NO + 2 NC slow-action contact configuration, providing two normally closed safety contacts together with a normally open auxiliary contact. The positive-opening mechanism mechanically opens the NC safety contacts after movement of the hinged guard, enabling the associated safety control system to detect an unsafe guard position and initiate the required machine stop function.

The FR 2096-L5M1 features an L5 tapered actuator measuring Ø8 × 69 mm with a Ø6.9 mm tapered section and a technopolymer enclosure with an M16 × 1.5 threaded cable entry. With IP67 protection according to EN 60529 and IP69K protection according to ISO 20653 and an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C, it is suitable for demanding industrial machine safety installations.

Key Advantages

• Purpose-designed safety monitoring for hinged machine guards and doors.
• 1 NO + 2 NC slow-action contacts support safety and auxiliary signalling functions.

Reliable Hinged Guard Monitoring for Industrial Machinery

Hinge-operated safety switches monitor guard movement directly through rotation of the hinged door or protective panel. After the guard begins to open, movement of the actuator operates the internal mechanism and positively opens the normally closed safety contacts, allowing the machine safety system to detect the change and stop or inhibit hazardous operation.

The Pizzato FR hinged-door range is designed for machine builders and automation engineers requiring sensitive electromechanical guard monitoring. Its adjustable switch head supports different installation positions, while the compact hinge-operated arrangement is particularly useful where conventional separate-actuator safety switches may be less suitable because of machinery layout or environmental contamination.

Typical Applications

• Hinged industrial machine guard doors.
• Safety access panels and protective enclosures.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Automated production and assembly lines.
• Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
• Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
