Why Choose the Pizzato HX BL22-3PN Stainless Steel Safety Hinge Switch?
The Pizzato HX BL22-3PN is a stainless steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged guards and safety doors on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato HX Series, it integrates the mechanical hinge and electrical safety switching functions into a single assembly, providing discreet guard monitoring without requiring a conventional separate actuator.
The BL22 configuration belongs to the mechanical switching range of HX safety hinges and provides 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts with positive-opening safety operation. This four-contact arrangement provides flexibility for safety monitoring and auxiliary machine-control functions while maintaining direct mechanical actuation through movement of the guard.
The HX BL22-3PN combines robust AISI 316L stainless steel construction with a 3 m pre-wired cable and rear connection arrangement. The stainless steel HX design is particularly suited to applications where hygiene, corrosion resistance and a compact integrated guard-monitoring solution are important.
Key Advantages
- Combines the mechanical hinge and safety switch in one compact assembly.
- 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts support safety and auxiliary switching functions.
- Positive-opening operation provides direct mechanical opening of the safety contacts.
- Integrated design eliminates the need for a conventional separate safety-switch actuator.
- Robust AISI 316L stainless steel construction for demanding environments.
- 3 m pre-wired cable simplifies connection to the machine wiring system.
- Rear cable outlet supports discreet cable routing through the machine structure.
- Suitable for hygienic, corrosion-prone and demanding industrial machinery.

Integrated Mechanical Safety Monitoring for Hinged Guards
The Pizzato HX Series incorporates the safety switching mechanism directly into the mechanical hinge. Opening or closing the hinged machine guard therefore actuates the internal contacts without requiring a separate key or external actuator, providing a clean and compact solution for safety-door monitoring.
The BL22 mechanical configuration combines 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts with positive-opening operation. Together with the stainless steel construction and rear-output 3 m cable, the HX BL22-3PN provides a practical solution for machine builders requiring integrated guard monitoring in demanding industrial installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pizzato HX BL22-3PN used for?
The HX BL22-3PN is a stainless steel safety hinge switch designed for monitoring hinged machine guards, safety doors and protective access panels.
What contact configuration does the HX BL22-3PN use?
The BL22 mechanical configuration provides 2NO + 2NC slow-action contacts, allowing safety monitoring and auxiliary switching functions to be incorporated into the guard-monitoring system.
Does the HX BL22-3PN provide positive opening?
Yes. The mechanical HX BL22 design incorporates positive-opening safety operation, providing direct mechanical opening of the relevant safety contacts through movement of the hinge.
What cable length does the HX BL22-3PN have?
The HX BL22-3PN is configured with a 3 m pre-wired cable for connection to the machine safety circuit.
Where does the cable exit the HX BL22-3PN?
The PN configuration uses a rear cable outlet, helping the cable to be routed discreetly towards the machine wiring system.
What material is the Pizzato HX BL22-3PN made from?
The HX Series safety hinge is constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel, providing excellent suitability for hygienic, corrosive and demanding industrial environments.
Why use an integrated safety hinge instead of a separate guard switch?
An integrated safety hinge combines the mechanical hinge and electrical guard-monitoring function in one assembly, reducing exposed components and eliminating the need to align a separate actuator with a conventional safety switch.
Where is the HX BL22-3PN typically installed?
Typical applications include hinged guards on food-processing, pharmaceutical, packaging, chemical-processing, automated production and other industrial machinery where robust stainless steel construction is beneficial.
