Description
Tapeswitch TS-48 Sensing Edges are general purpose, medium profile, pressure sensitive safety edges. They have some compliance before activation, eliminating nuisance tripping, and provide about ¾in. of overtravel cushioning after activation. These safety edges also exhibit excellent side activation. Mounting is by means of snap-in channel that is available in three configurations: flat (aluminum or PVC) and with a straight or right-angle flange (aluminum only).
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-48 Pressure Sensitive Sensing Edges are supplied with
4-lead Fail-Safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
