| Description |

Tapeswitch VB-Series High-Impact Sensing Bumpers are designed to survive repeated crushing impacts that would destroy conventional sensing bumpers, and to continue functioning perfectly. When deformed by contact or impact, these pressure-sensitive bumpers provide a signal in the form of an electrical contact closure. They are suitable for use on AGVs, mobile platforms, traveling conveyors, and other moving equipment or machinery. Sensitivity is uniform over the entire sensing bumper surface, including any curved areas.
VB-Series Pressure-Sensitive Bumpers are available in lengths from 4 inches to 16 feet and in linear, winged, or corner configurations. The VB-125 is 1.25" wide at the base and the VB-250 in 2.50" wide. The contact area features a rugged polyurethane cover for added durability. Yellow is standard on these sensing bumpers, but Tapeswitch can provide other colors, on request.
