Why Choose the Pizzato FX1896 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX1896 is a compact and reliable industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access monitoring, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the proven Pizzato FX series, it provides dependable safety performance for automated machinery and industrial equipment where guard position detection is essential.
This model is engineered for direct installation on hinged guards and moving protective panels. It operates by detecting the angular movement of the guard, ensuring that when the door is opened beyond the safety threshold, the internal contacts immediately open and stop machine operation.
With its robust industrial construction and precision switching mechanism, the FX1896 ensures long service life, stable performance, and consistent safety operation even in demanding environments. Its compact housing and dual cable entry design allow straightforward integration into machine frames and safety control systems.
Key Advantages
- High-reliability hinged safety switch for machine guarding systems.
- Direct actuation via hinge movement (no separate actuator required).
- Compact and rugged industrial design.
- Fail-safe operation with safety contact switching.
- Easy installation on machine guards and access doors.
- Long mechanical durability for industrial use.
Key Features
- Pizzato FX series hinged safety switch.
- Angular actuation via door/guard hinge movement.
