Safety edges are used on edges of guards and gates at possible crushing or shearing points. They are used on gates, machines, and handling equipment to protect people and equipment. Our SGE Series safety edges use the innovative design of co-extruded safety contact as an integral part of the safety edge. A complete unit consists of an aluminum mounting channel, the safety contact, and the safety edge. The special shapes of the EPDM, TPE, or NBR rubber profiles protect the safety contact from damage and allows actuation angles to exceed 90 degrees.The last safety edge in a serial connection is terminated with a resistor, which is continuously monitored by the controller. This allows the entire circuit to be monitored for shorts and wire breaks.

SGE series profiles are patented and offer improved technical characteristics with fewer components. Inside the safety edge is the co-extruded switching unit, which consists of two conductive rubber extrusions inside the chamber and a high-isolating material EPDM or TPE outer. Inside of each conductive rubber extrusion is a copper wire with low-resistance evaluation. The molded wiring plug at each end ensures the constant contact of the two conductive rubber extrusions of the switching unit. The end caps seal and protect the safety contact from dirt and water ingression. This innovative design significantly reduces assembly time, saving both time and money.Important features of the SGE profile:

• Fast, accurate response even during lateral application of force
• Fewer components required for complete assembly
• Fast and easy assembly
• Integrated water drain (some models)
• Reduced weight

The SGE profile is currently available in six sizes from 8 mm to 65 mm in height. Profiles are available with sealing lips for applications such as doors.

In SCS series safety edges, the safety contact is inserted into the switching chamber of the safety edge. The two ends are then sealed with a permanently elastic adhesive and end caps to keep the unit watertight.All SCS series safety edges are available in NBR only.
