The contact strips KS15 and KS18 are used as security switches at shearing points. Compared to other switching gear, the advantage of these switches are material of construction and optimum design for the purpose. The homogenous outer material of TPE has an inner, highly conductive elastomer. Embedded in this conductive material is a tinned copper braid which enables low resistance monitoring of the assembled units over long distances of 200 meters and more. Contact characteristics are excellent because the two switching surfaces can touch easily without the need to overcome any isolating barrier material.
The excellent bounce-back ability of the strips is guaranteed through the mechanical design of the construction material TPE. The assembled contact strip is embedded in a metal base for excellent oncarriage way. The contact strip is protected by the metal base. Various terminating resistors and monitoring options are available. Permission as a safety contact strip is regulated by various registrations at different institutes according to the latest standards.
