SB Safety Bumpers: Cushioned Collision Protection with Instant Switch-Off
Mayser Safety Bumpers are active safety devices designed to protect personnel from injury and machinery from damage, particularly in applications requiring a longer stopping distance. Unlike rigid safety measures, the soft body of our bumpers absorbs impact energy while simultaneously triggering an immediate, reliable safety switch-off.
Constructed from soft polyurethane (PUR) foam and encased in a durable, specialized skin, these bumpers are the ideal addition to any collision protection system, ensuring optimal safeguarding of pinching and shearing edges.
Principle of Operation
Safety Bumpers function as large-area, pressure-sensitive switches. They integrate an internal switching system that operates according to the Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) principle. Upon contact, the foam body is compressed, activating the integrated switch and sending a signal to the machine controller to immediately halt movement. The soft foam ensures that this process occurs gently over a sufficient stopping distance.

Key Features & Benefits
Safety Edges provide reliable protection across diverse sectors:
Superior Impact Absorption
The soft PUR foam body minimizes the risk of injury to people and prevents costly damage to machinery and objects.
Highly Compliant
Certified to strict standards including DIN EN ISO 13856-3 and EN ISO 13849-1 Category 3 PL d (TÜV NORD certified).
Simple Installation
Quick and easy setup utilizing a highly functional, integrated aluminum profile for mounting.
Universal Mounting
Can be installed in any position: horizontal, vertical, hanging, or standing, offering maximum design flexibility.
Durable & Resistant
Maintenance-free design with resistance to chemicals. Protection class IP 54 (higher available upon request).
Wide Surface Selection
Choose from various surfaces, including polyester, artificial leather, PUR coating, or specialized covers like welding protection and theatre fabric.

Customization: Perfect Protection for Any Application
Mayser Safety Bumpers are engineered with a modular construction principle allowing for maximum adaptability.
