TS-46 Sensing Edges

Medium profile, pressure sensitive safety edges with a crimp-on
mounting, some compliance before actuation, and 3/4" overtravel

Tapeswitch TS-46 Sensing Edges are general purpose, medium profile, pressure sensitive safety edges. They have some compliance before activation, eliminating nuisance tripping, and provide about ¾” of overtravel cushioning after activation. These safety edges also exhibit excellent side activation. Mounting is in crimpable aluminum channel (flat or angle), which is more tamper-resistant than snap-in channel.

The Santoprene TPE housing is resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. The internal switching element is rated for 3 million operations at any point. All TS-46 Pressure Sensitive Sensing Edges are supplied with 4-lead fail-safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
