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.

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.

Boost workplace safety with this edge sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley Guardmaster range. It's installed on the edges of doors, gates and machine beds, to prevent injury and damage caused by crushing. By breaking the electrical circuit when the rubber surface is depressed, the unit stops the movement of these devices. The wire core is protected by rubber housing that returns to its original shape, making this a durable and reliable safety option.

• Nitrile rubber material is resistant to oils, acids and water, making it suitable for industrial environments
• Works in series or parallel with other connected safety edge sensors to help protect awkward spaces
• IP65 rating means it's dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets once it's connected
• May be cut down to fit the specific length of equipment edges
• Straight wire lead for easy routing and daisy-chaining of sensors

• CE Marked
• TÜV Certified
• EN1760-2
• ISO13849-1
• IEC/EN 60204-1

• IP65 protection

You can connect this safety edge sensor to a control unit such as the 440-F series controller (151-2529), to continuously monitor its status and communicate with your system.
