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.

Prevent operator injuries in your industrial environment using this safety edge sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley Guardmaster range. It works by monitoring the movement of the machine guard and signals the control unit if it senses a physical obstruction. Thanks to its protected area of 2m, you can fit this unit over a large machine guard or cut it for multiple applications, making it a versatile option. For added safety, the corners of this component are also sensitive to physical contact, so there are no blind spots.

• Conductive rubber body enables a quick return to original state even after multiple compressions
• Bend radius of 200mm for flexible operation
• Integrated LHT wire lead for hassle-free connection to the control unit
• IP65 rating means it's dustproof and protected against low-pressure jets of water

• ISO 13849-1
• AS 4024.5
• CE Marked
• cULus
• EN 1760-2

This sensor comes with a C-rail that's designed to fit on the edge of the machine guard. As the rail is made from tough aluminium, it's resistant to corrosion and delivers an extended service life.
