Why Choose the Pizzato FR 993-M2T6 Safety Switch with Separate Actuator?
The Pizzato FR 993-M2T6 is an FR series safety switch with separate actuator designed for monitoring movable guards, protective doors and access panels on industrial machinery. Its separate-actuator operating principle makes it suitable for hinged, sliding and removable guards where opening the guard must cause a change in the machine safety circuit.
The FR 993 configuration incorporates 2NC slow-action contacts, providing two normally closed channels for guard-position monitoring. The safety contacts use positive-opening operation, helping provide dependable switching when the actuator is withdrawn as the associated guard opens.
The FR series uses a compact glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer housing and provides IP67 protection. The M2 configuration uses an M20 × 1.5 conduit entry, while the FR series rotating head provides multiple actuator entry positions for flexible installation on industrial guards.

Reliable Separate-Actuator Guard Monitoring
Separate-actuator safety switches operate when a specially shaped actuator enters or leaves the switch head as the associated machine guard closes or opens. This provides a direct mechanical means of monitoring protective doors and guards and is widely used on industrial machinery where access to hazardous areas must be interlocked with the machine control system.
The Pizzato FR 993-M2T6 combines this proven operating principle with 2NC slow-action contacts, positive opening and a compact reinforced technopolymer enclosure. The FR series supports compatible Pizzato VF KEYD actuator designs, allowing the actuator style to be selected to suit the movement and geometry of the particular guard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato FR 993-M2T6 used for?
The FR 993-M2T6 is a safety switch with separate actuator used to monitor movable machine guards, protective doors and access panels.
What contact configuration does the FR 993-M2T6 have?
The FR 993 configuration provides 2NC slow-action contacts for safety-related guard monitoring.
Does the FR 993-M2T6 use positive-opening contacts?
Yes. The normally closed safety contacts provide positive-opening operation so that guard movement mechanically causes the safety contacts to open.
What cable entry does the FR 993-M2T6 use?
The M2 configuration uses an M20 × 1.5 conduit entry for the electrical connection.
What actuators are used with Pizzato FR series safety switches?
The FR series is designed for use with compatible Pizzato VF KEYD series separate actuators, with different actuator geometries available to suit the movement and layout of the machine guard.
Trusted for Industrial Machine Safety
Pizzato Elettrica FR series safety switches provide machine builders and automation engineers with compact, robust separate-actuator guard monitoring for protective doors, access panels and industrial machine enclosures.
