Why Choose the Pizzato FR 996-L9M2 Safety Switch for Hinged Doors?
The Pizzato FR 996-L9M2 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for monitoring movable guards and access doors on industrial machinery. Part of the established Pizzato FR Series, this electromechanical safety switch provides reliable guard-position detection for machine safety circuits in manufacturing, processing and automation applications.
The FR 996-L9M2 uses a hinge-operated safety switching principle, allowing movement of the associated guard or door to operate the switch mechanism directly. This arrangement provides an effective solution where conventional separate actuators are undesirable, while supporting dependable detection of an opened machine guard.
Designed for industrial installations, the FR Series combines compact construction with robust environmental protection. The M2 version uses an M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry for straightforward integration with machine wiring and cable-gland systems, making the FR 996-L9M2 suitable for new machinery and replacement safety-switch installations.
