TS-26 Sensing Edges

Medium profile, pressure sensitive safety edges
with immediate actuation and 3/8" overtravel

Tapeswitch TS-26 Sensing Edges are general purpose, medium profile, pressure sensitive safety edges. They provide immediate activation with minimal compliance, and about 3/8 ” of overtravel cushioning after activation. They also exhibit excellent side activation. TS-26 sensing edges are available in two mounting configurations: snap-in channel-mount (flat or angle) and clamp-mount.

Housing is available in Santoprene (TS-26S and TS-26T). Both materials are resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. The internal switching elements are rated for 3 million operations at any point. All TS-26 Pressure Sensitive Safety Edges are supplied with 4-lead fail-safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
