Hercules Ruggedized Sensing Bumpers
Tapeswitch Hercules Ruggedized Sensing Bumpers are designed to operate in hostile environments that are off limits to conventional pressure-sensitive bumpers. Originally engineered for marine environments, they are encapsulated in a rugged polyurethane shell that meets MIL-STD-810E salt fog requirements and is resistant to many common industrial chemicals and fluids.
The Hercules pressure-sensitive bumper is abrasion-resistant, impact-resistant, and crush-resistant. It is suitable for use on AGVs, mobile platforms, traveling conveyors, and other moving equipment. These sensing bumpers are available in 4" and 7" widths, up to 18" high, and with a maximum length of 12 feet. Special capabilities include multiple sensing zones and corner bumper designs.
