Morphology
Both constituents directly contribute to the overall meaning: 'tactile' means related to touch and 'sensation' means a physical feeling, so the phrase simply denotes a feeling produced by touch. This compositional, cross-linguistically common pattern (e.g. Spanish 'sensación táctil') follows standard English adjective + noun formation and is immediately derivable by learners who know the parts.
Etymology
The phrase tactile sensation is built from two parts: tactile (about 'touch') and sensation (a 'feeling'), so imagine your skin touching something and you notice that contact. That's why it means the physical feeling you get from pressure or contact.
