SICK RE13-SA64 Sensor
SICK RE13-SA64 non-contact magnetic safety switch, part 1062540. Wear-free guard position monitoring for machine safety circuits.
Overview
The SICK RE13-SA64 (part number 1062540) is a non-contact magnetic safety switch. Mounted on machine guards, it monitors the guard position through a coded magnetic actuator without mechanical wear, providing reliable guard position information for the machine safety circuit.
How It Works
The switch evaluates the magnetic field of the actuator mounted on the moving guard. When the guard closes and the actuator reaches the switching distance, the safety outputs close; when the guard opens, the outputs open. Without mechanical contact, the switching operates wear-free over millions of cycles.

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the switch on the fixed frame and the actuator on the guard with the specified alignment and switching distances. Wire into the safety circuit per the required performance level and test the function by opening the guard. Because there is no mechanical contact, alignment tolerance is more generous than with mechanical switches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage over mechanical safety switches?
No wear, tolerance to misalignment and contamination, and no actuator damage from rough handling.
Can it be bypassed with a magnet?
Coded magnetic designs reduce manipulation risk; for higher manipulation protection, use coded transponder switches.
Does it need maintenance?
Only periodic functional testing and inspection of mounting; no wear-related replacement.
