Haake Safety Edge

The sensor part of the safety edge is positioned directly behind the front portion of the rubber profile. Separation of the contact position does not rely on a bending of the contact chain, but on the re-direction of the external radial forces to internal axial forces. Actuation will commence at low actuating forces and after a very short response travel, providing a fast response time. The full remaining height of the rubber profile is available as an over-travel. In particular with regard to the prevention of injuries, large over-travels are of enormous importance for a safety sensitive edge.

When we started, in 1987, to translate our ideas into products, we did not have a clue as to where our entrepreneurial trip would end. At the time, production, design, and sales took place in our parents’ garage! Our’s would have been a short story, if not for the support of our very first customers and suppliers. Because of their original commitment to us, absolute customer orientation is the number one priority for our colleagues and us.


Because of the rotationally symmetrical design of the contact chain, our edges can theoretically be operated from any direction, that is, their sensitive range covers 360°.
