TS-26 Sensing Edge



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 inch of overtravel cushioning after 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 and resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. The internal switching elements are rated for millions of operations across surface. All TS-26 Pressure Sensitive Safety Edges are supplied with 4-conductor Fail-Safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch™ Safety Interface Modules.

Features & Benefits
• Medium profile for larger target zone
