Safety edges

Safety edges are sensors that protect shearing and crushing edges against pinching hazards. If the safety edge encounters an obstacle, for example if a hand gets caught in a closing door, the automatic movement is stopped immediately.

We offer Safety Edges as normally open contacts or normally closed chains, depending on the switching principle.

With the safety edge self-assembly, we give you the opportunity to manufacture your safety edges quickly and inexpensively yourself.

Product information

Depending on the control principle, we supply safety edges as normally open or normally closed chains:

When our Safety edges SL (normally open safety edges) are actuated, a contact closes, triggering a short circuit. A signal transmitted to the evaluation unit immediately stops automatic movements to protect people and property.
Our SL NC (NC = normally closed) safety edges feature a chain of linked NC contacts integrated in a rubber profile. When the safety edge is actuated, an existing contact is broken.
You can cut your safety edges to size yourself for fast, cheap installation.

Your benefits

Normally closed and normally open principles available
Available as normally open safety edge with monitoring resistor or as continuous edge with four-wire technology (two-sided cable). This ensures safety because the functions of the sensor and connection cable are constantly monitored.
Wide range of profile geometries available
