HX BEE1-2PM Pizzato Hinged-shaped safety switches in stainless steel HX series

Why Choose the Pizzato HX BEE1-2PM Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?

The Pizzato HX BEE1-2PM is an advanced electronic safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged guards and safety doors on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, the electrical safety switch is integrated directly into the mechanical hinge, providing a discreet and tamper-resistant solution for machine guarding applications.

The HX BEE1 family uses redundant electronic safety technology with two PNP safety outputs, one PNP signalling output and two PNP safety inputs. This architecture enables the HX BEE1 series to support high-level machinery safety systems while also allowing multiple compatible safety devices to be connected in series when used with appropriate safety control equipment.

Constructed with an AISI 316L stainless steel housing, the HX BEE1-2PM is particularly suited to applications where hygiene, corrosion resistance and robust construction are important. The HX Series provides IP67 and IP69K protection, operates from a 24 V DC supply and incorporates status indication by LED, making it suitable for demanding food, pharmaceutical, chemical, marine and general industrial environments.

Advanced Electronic Safety Monitoring for Hinged Guards

The Pizzato HX Series integrates the safety sensor into the mechanical hinge, allowing the position of a hinged machine guard to be monitored without a separate visible actuator. This arrangement provides a clean installation while making the safety switching device more difficult to identify and tamper with than many conventional external guard switches.

The HX BEE1 electronic architecture provides two safety inputs and two safety outputs, enabling compatible HX switches and other suitable Pizzato safety devices to be incorporated into series-connected safety systems. The stainless steel construction also makes the HX Series particularly appropriate for machinery where cleanliness, hygiene and resistance to aggressive operating environments are important.
