Car Wash Vehicle Sensing Switches
 

Tapeswitch Car Wash Vehicle Sensing Switches are designed to detect the downward or angular pressure of an automobile tire in the harsh environment of vehicle wash down systems. These vehicle detection sensors are molded from 100% PVC Plastisol and features anti-wicking Dri-Run cable, which provides exceptional protection from moisture intrusion through the electrical lead wires. The Car Wash Vehicle Sensing Switch has a moisture rating of IP-67.

Many standard sizes are in stock, but custom sizes and shapes are easily manufactured to order with short lead times. Vehicle detection sensors can also be made with cut-outs and multiple sensing zones to exactly fit specific application requirements.
