The Safedge pressure sensitive system is supplied in two popular profiles, with cushion factor over travel distances of 5mm and 19mm. The cushion factor is the distance the profile can be depressed after a signal has been generated.
It is mounted on an aluminium C rail (included) and is supplied in 1, 1.5 and 2m lengths that may be cut and joined in series or parallel to support a wide range of industrial applications such as power operated doors, guided vehicles and moving machinery beds.
The Safedge profile uses a combination of non-conductive rubber and flexible wire cored conductive rubber bonded together enabling it to return to its original shape even after repeated compressions.
It has no rigid internal parts to damage the rubber profile or cause fatigue failures after prolonged use. The multi-stranded copper wire core throughout the length of the strip also insures that there are no problems of resistance build up on long lengths.
A range of accessories for end termination and 90° active corner joints are also available.

2 different profile designs
Conductive rubber technology
Available in 1m, 1.5m or 2m lengths
Aluminium mounting rail
The system has a bend radius of 200mm

IP65 protection

These Safedge profiles are supplied part assembled. The series terminating resistor and associated end closing cap are not attached to the profile but are supplied separately in a bag. This allows the profile to be cut to the appropriate length before completing the assembly by inserting the resistor and gluing the end cap in place using industrial cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Improve safety in your workplace with this edge sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley Guardmaster range. It's commonly found on the leading edge of large-scale industrial equipment to prevent crushing hazards. It's made of NBR/CR (nitrile butadiene/chloroprene) material and has a conductive core that sends a stop signal to the machine on contact with an obstacle. A flexible multi-stranded copper-wire core prevents problems from resistance build-up over time. It also has a 0110N Safedge profile, indicating that the unit has increased resistance to oil and can be used in environments with the potential for oil spills. With a maximum operating voltage of 12V, it protects operators from exposure to hazardous voltages.

• IP65 (ingress protection) rating means the unit is water-resistant
• Bend radius of 200mm prevents damage to the conductive wire core

• EN 13849 PLd, Cat. 3, EN ISO 13856-2: 2013 (International Organization for Standardization)
• ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 (Electrostatic Control Standards)
• BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 (Electrostatic Control Standards)

• IP65 protection

Yes, this unit is designed with a combination of non-conducive rubber and a bendable rubber core, which enables it to return to its original form even after multiple compressions.
