Safety Bumper Switches


Prevent automatic doors from closing on a person or an object—these switches immediately turn machinery off when actuated with minimal force. Combine with a controller (sold separately) to create a self-monitoring system that also shuts off machinery when a fault is detected. They’re sensitive along their entire length and often used to signal when an overhead door closes or when an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The attached mounting channel can be mounted to a door or flat surface. Punch or drill holes into the channel to match an existing hole pattern or create a new mounting pattern. Switches are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Bumper Switches

Sensitive along their entire length, these switches are often used to signal when an overhead door closes or an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The sealed housing protects against exposure to weather.
Optional mounting channels (sold separately) secure switches to walls or conveyors.

High-Force Safety Bumper Switches


Minimize false triggers—these switches require 10 lbs. of actuation force in order to shut off machinery immediately. Combine with a controller (sold separately) to create a self-monitoring system that also shuts off machinery when a fault is detected. They’re sensitive along their entire length and often used to signal when an overhead door closes or when an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The attached mounting channel can be mounted to a door or flat surface. Punch or drill holes into the channel to match an existing hole pattern or create a new mounting pattern. Switches are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Wear-Resistant Bumper Switches

Made of polycarbonate, these switches won't wear down even as objects constantly bump into them, unlike rubber bumper switches. They come in a sealed housing, so you don't need a mounting channel. Sensitive along their entire length, they're often used to signal when they've been hit by a cart or other rolling equipment.
