A pressure sensitive safety edge that provides an exact fit
for circular geometries and is available as a full or partial circle |
 |
| Description |
| The Sensor-Ring Circular Sensing Edge from Tapeswitch offers a unique and effective solution for applications requiring a large curved or circular sensing element. It replaces multi-piece, multi-switch solutions with a single, curved, pressure sensitive sensing edge that provides contact closure at any point. The hollow-ring design permits pass-through of wires, components, or personnel.
The Sensor-Ring Pressure Sensitive Safety Edge is constructed with a Santoprene TPE housing which is resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. It is available in partial or full circle models with diameters up to 5ft. Mounting can be customized to suit the application. All Sensor-Ring Sensing Edges are supplied with 4-lead Fail-Safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controller |
