Safedge™ Profiles

Description

The ability of the Safedge profile to out perform competition lies in its innovative design. It uses a combination of non-conductive rubber and flexible wire-cored conductive rubber bonded together so it keeps bouncing back into shape even after repeated compressions.

The Safedge profiles come in 3 different cushions factors: 5 mm (0.2 in), 19 mm (0.75 in) and 41 mm (1.6 in). Cushion factor is the distance the profile can be depressed after a signal has been generated. The profiles are also offered with a sealing lip which is designed to reduce drafts between the profile and opposing surface.

The profiles come in two different materials. Use the EPDM material in the presence of conductive fluids. The NBR/CR material performs better in the presence of oils. Review the chemical resistance chart to help make the best choice of material. If in doubt, a small sample of the profile should be tested for chemical resistance before a final selection is made.

The Safedge profile has no rigid internal parts which can “break through” or cause fatigue failures after prolonged use. The multi-stranded copper wire core throughout the length of the strip reduces the risk of resistance build up on long lengths.

Example application of profile using coiled cable. The coiled cable can not be directly connected to the profile due to the weight of the cable. The proper use of the coilded cable is to connect the coiled cable to the profile through the connection box. The coiled cable should be secured to both the moving and stationary objects so as to prevent straining of the terminal connections.

Factory Assembled Examples

This is a single oil resistant profile which is 1250 mm (49.2 in) long. The edge is terminated with a Series Termination. A 1 m (3.2 ft) cable enters straight into the closing cap. The profile is mounted on a standard aluminum C-rail.	This single profile has a sealing lip and is 490 mm (19.2 in) long. The profile is terminated with a Series Termination. A 3 m (9.8 ft) cable enters into the right hand side of the closing cap from a plastic surface mounted controller. The profile is mounted on an aluminum rail with a vertical lip for ease of mounting. The orientation of the sealing lip to the vertical lip can be reversed by the user by sliding the profile out of the C-rail, rotating the C-rail 180° and then re-inserting the profile back into the C-rail.

The profile is mounted on an aluminum C-rail with a vertical mounting lip. A control unit is not included. This edge is intended to be used in series with another length of edge which has a terminating resistor.	This is a red-colored single profile which is 3560 mm (140.15 in) long. This profile is part of a parallel profile system, for ease of mounting, as it is terminated with a Parallel Termination. A 3 m (9.8 ft) cable enters into the left side of the closing cap. The profile is mounted on an aluminum C-rail with a horizontal lip for ease of mounting. The horizontal lip can be reversed by the user by sliding the profile out of the C-rail, rotating the C-rail and then re-inserting the profile back into the C-rail. A separate Cat. No. must be entered for the other profile.
