When you're choosing between two industrial sensing parts, the first question is what your machine actually needs to detect. One of these parts is a contact-activated safety edge strip, while the other is a pressure sensor. They sit in the same machine safety and sensing conversation, but they are not interchangeable.
Quick Verdict
The Industrial Safety Edge Sensor Strip Contact Ribbon Switch is the pick if you need a contact-style strip to guard an edge or pinch point. The Honeywell 89028 Industrial Pressure Sensor is the pick if you need industrial pressure monitoring-and it's the lower-priced option by $6.01.
| Product | Price | Relative price | Condition | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Safety Edge Sensor Strip | $29.96 | New other (see details) | Edge contact and pinch protection | |
| Honeywell 89028 Industrial Pressure Sensor | $23.95 | New | Industrial pressure monitoring |
Where Each Product Wins
The Safety Edge Sensor Strip wins when you need a contact ribbon switch that reacts to contact along a length of a machine edge. Its title identifies it as a safety edge sensor strip, which tells you it belongs in edge-protection scenarios. The Honeywell 89028 Pressure Sensor wins when your priority is pressure monitoring in an industrial application. It carries model number 103716, MPN 8902842131, and a New condition status, giving you a clear part identity to work with.
Product Notes
Industrial Safety Edge Sensor Strip Contact Ribbon Switch
This is the contact-type safety edge sensor strip, priced at the high end of this pairing. If your setup uses a ribbon switch along a moving edge or access point, this is the item that matches that job. The title says exactly what it is-a safety edge sensor strip and contact ribbon switch-and that's its strength. It is purpose-built for edge sensing rather than pressure measurement. Buy it when you need contact-driven edge protection. The trade-off is that it costs $6.01 more than the Honeywell pressure sensor, and its condition is listed as new other (see details) rather than simply new.
Honeywell 89028 Industrial Pressure Sensor
This Honeywell pressure sensor brings a defined part identity: model 103716, MPN 8902842131, and a new condition. It's the lower-priced option in this head-to-head, so the price spread is in its favor. The scenario that fits it best is an industrial application where you need pressure monitoring and want a clearly identified Honeywell part. The limitation is just as direct: it's a pressure sensor, not a safety edge strip. If your machine needs contact-based pinch protection, this part won't cover that edge.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Industrial Safety Edge Sensor Strip if your requirement is contact detection along a machine edge or pinch point. The ribbon-switch design makes it the right tool for that job, even though it carries the higher price and a new other condition note.
Choose the Honeywell 89028 Industrial Pressure Sensor if you need industrial pressure measurement with a clearly defined Honeywell part, a new condition, and the lower cost. Use it for pressure sensing, not for edge protection.
If your application calls for both functions, these two parts are not substitutes for each other-pick the one that matches the signal your machine needs.
