Miniature Safety Edges

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical information on Miniature Safety Edges (EKS) by Mayser Polymer Electric, designed for protection against trapping and nipping. These safety edges are compact, reliable, and customizable for various applications, including medical technology, elevator doors, and electrically adjustable furniture.
Specifications: The Miniature Safety Edges operate on a closed circuit principle, halting dangerous movements if the connection is broken. They are adaptable to different environments and are particularly useful in areas with limited overtravel distances. The EKS 038 model includes an insulating TPE-covering, conductive contact layers, and a self-adhesive acrylic foam base, adhering to ISO 13849-1 standards.
Operating Characteristics: The safety edges have a response angle greater than 90°, an actuating distance of ≤ 1.0 mm, and an actuating force of less than 25 N for a 200 mm test piece. They function effectively in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, with short-term exposure up to +95°C.
Electrical Conditions: The maximum voltage is 24 V DC, with a current of 10 mA. The protection class is IP65, ensuring resistance to dust and water. The EKS 038 model features a terminal resistance of 1k2 ± 5%.
Material Characteristics: Made from thermoplastic elastomer, the safety edges are environmentally friendly, recyclable, and have a Shore A hardness of 55 ±5. They are UV-resistant and comply with fire behavior standards according to DIN 75200.
Installation and Connection: Installation guidelines include using acrylic-foam adhesive tape and specific bonding processes. The document emphasizes adhesion tests before serial use to ensure proper bonding on selected surfaces.
Compliance and Testing: The safety edges comply with various standards and have been tested for performance under specified conditions. Testing the suitability of products for specific applications under practical conditions is advised.
Assembly Instructions: A step-by-step guide for assembling Miniature Safety Edges (EKS 011, EKS 014, or EKS 052) with a protection degree of IP40 is provided. Instructions cover cutting, assembling, and testing the safety edge, along with bonding recommendations.
Technical Data: Detailed technical data for various models include actuating force, distance, response angle, sensor length, bending radii, tensile load, and working temperature. Electrical specifications include end resistor values, transition resistance, and electric ratings.
Request for Quotation: A template for requesting a quotation is included, detailing necessary information such as company details, application area, and specific product requirements.

Miniature Safety Edges-1

Product Information Miniature Safety Edges Miniature Safety Edges (EKS) – the "invisible" protection against trapping and nipping Miniature Safety Edges ... Tiny dimensions, enormous reliability. The Miniature Safety Edges are the result of consistent further development and miniaturisation of our Safety Edges which are well known for their reliability in safety applications. Endowed with the same safety and reliability features, the Miniature Safety Edges also have a visual advantage: absolutely tiny and the profile comes in almost any shape and size. ... inside values • The heart of the Miniature Safety Edges is the switching chamber which is integrated in the profile. A small amount of pressure to the Miniature Safety Edge suffices to short-circuit two conductive areas which are separated from each other. A sure signal for the evaluating unit connected up. • Electrically, the Miniature Safety Edge works on the closed circuit principle, i.e. a break in connection is recog­nized, the danger- bringing movement is brought to a halt. ... outside values • In addition to the three standard shapes depicted we can also provide customized profiles. • The design of the Miniature Safety Edge can be practically effortlessly adapted to suit the surroundings. • The Miniature Safety Edge is in its element in places where only very short overtravel distances are possible. • Thanks to the minimal dimensions (see to the right) the Miniature Safety Edge can be intregrated into its surroundings in an optimal way.
