Why Choose the Pizzato FX18C1-M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX18C1-M2 is a reliable industrial safety switch with slotted lever actuation, designed for machine guarding, door position monitoring, and safety interlocking in automation systems. As part of the trusted Pizzato FX series, it is widely used in industrial environments where compact and dependable guard detection is required.
This model uses a slotted-hole lever mechanism to detect movement of hinged or sliding guards. When the guard is opened or displaced, the internal switching system immediately triggers a safety circuit interruption, helping stop hazardous machine motion and improving operator protection.
Built with a rugged technopolymer housing and precision slow-action contacts, the FX18C1-M2 ensures long mechanical life, stable switching performance, and reliable safety operation even in demanding industrial conditions. Its compact design and dual cable entry options make installation simple and flexible in control panels and machine frames.
