Why Choose the Pizzato FR 20C5-A Safety Switch with Slotted Hole Lever?
The Pizzato FR 20C5-A is an industrial safety switch with slotted hole lever designed for position monitoring of hinged guards and protective doors on machinery. Part of the established Pizzato FR series, it combines a compact technopolymer enclosure with a mechanically operated lever head for dependable machine-safety applications.
The FR 20 contact configuration provides 1 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts. This three-contact arrangement is well suited to safety circuits where guard-position monitoring and an auxiliary signalling function are required from the same switch.
Its slotted hole lever provides a practical mechanical interface with the moving guard, allowing the switch to respond to angular movement. The FR series is designed for demanding industrial service and provides a compact solution for machine builders requiring reliable electromechanical guard monitoring.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed safety switch for hinged guard monitoring.
- 1NO+2NC slow-action contact configuration provides three switching contacts.
- Slotted hole lever provides direct mechanical monitoring of guard movement.
- Compact technopolymer housing for industrial machine installations.
- Positive-opening NC safety contacts support dependable safety-circuit operation.
- Part of the extensive Pizzato FR safety and position switch range.
Key Features
- Pizzato FR series safety switch.
- Slotted hole lever actuator.
- 1NO+2NC contacts.
- Slow-action switching.
- Positive-opening operation of the safety contacts.
- Technopolymer enclosure.
- Designed for monitoring hinged guards and protective doors.
- Mechanical lever operation without a separate coded actuator.
- Industrial construction for machinery and automation applications.
Reliable Monitoring for Hinged Machine Guards
Safety switches with slotted hole levers monitor the movement of a hinged machine guard through direct mechanical coupling between the guard and switch lever. When the guard moves away from its safe position, the switch changes the state of its safety contacts so the associated safety circuit can stop or inhibit hazardous machine operation.
The Pizzato FR 20C5-A combines this straightforward operating principle with slow-action contacts and positive-opening NC contacts. Its compact FR-series construction makes it suitable for machine designs where robust electromechanical guard monitoring is required without the complexity of a separate actuator system.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guards and protective doors.
- Industrial production machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Automated assembly systems.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial safety and position-monitoring circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FR 20C5-A used for?
The FR 20C5-A is a safety switch with slotted hole lever designed primarily for monitoring the position of hinged machine guards and protective doors.
What contact configuration does the FR 20C5-A have?
The FR 20C5-A uses a 1NO+2NC slow-action contact configuration, providing one normally open and two normally closed contacts.
Does the FR 20C5-A use positive-opening safety contacts?
Yes. The normally closed safety contacts use positive-opening operation, providing direct mechanical opening of the safety contacts when the switch is actuated.
What type of actuator does the FR 20C5-A use?
It uses a slotted hole lever that mechanically follows movement of the associated hinged guard or protective door.
Where is the Pizzato FR 20C5-A typically installed?
It is typically installed on industrial machinery, automated equipment, machine tools and production systems where the position of a hinged protective guard must be monitored.
