Reliable magnetic non-contact safety switch for guard monitoring. The SICK RE13-SA05 delivers durable, wear-free performance in demanding industrial environments.
The SICK RE13-SA05 magnetic non-contact safety switch is designed to secure movable machine guards using a sensing method that eliminates physical wear and alignment sensitivity. Its compact rectangular form and magnetic actuation allow dependable switching even when doors or covers experience vibration or slight misalignment. The switch includes two normally open safety outputs, delivering stable performance in environments where mechanical switches would degrade quickly. Built with a rugged housing and sealed to an IP67 rating, the RE13-SA05 provides a reliable safeguarding method for industrial machines that must maintain safety integrity while operating under challenging conditions.
The SICK RE13-SA05 offers a practical solution for machine builders and end users who need consistent guard monitoring without the maintenance burden of mechanical contacts. Its defined actuation and release distances give installers generous mounting freedom, helping reduce installation time and minimizing follow-up adjustments. The reed-based output design supports low-voltage safety circuits and integrates easily with most safety controllers. With resistance to shock, environmental stress, and a wide temperature range, it continues to perform reliably in production lines, processing equipment, and automated systems. The RE13-SA05 helps prevent unsafe access while reducing unplanned downtime and mechanical failures.
Why SICK RE13-SA05?
The SICK RE13-SA05 is the ideal choice when you need a compact, durable, and maintenance-free way to secure machine guards. Its magnetic non-contact principle avoids mechanical wear and performs reliably even when doors don’t align perfectly. Built for harsh industrial environments, it offers long-lasting consistency, simple installation, and dependable switching—making it a smart upgrade over traditional safety switches.
The RE13-SA05 solves the common issues of misalignment, vibration, and mechanical degradation that cause standard keyed or hinged safety switches to fail. It eliminates the need for precise door positioning and prevents false trips by using a magnetic sensing range that stays stable over time. This ensures machines remain safely locked out when guards open, reducing downtime, maintenance, and safety-related interruptions.

Packaging lines often generate constant vibration from conveyors, sealers, and cutting mechanisms, which can cause mechanical interlock switches to fail or trigger false alarms. The RE13-SA05’s magnetic sensing eliminates the need for precise alignment, allowing it to function reliably even when doors shift slightly during operation. Its sealed IP67 housing protects it from dust, stray product particles, and cleaning routines common in food and beverage factories. By providing stable switching without physical contact, the RE13-SA05 ensures operators cannot reach hazardous moving parts while maintaining high machine uptime in environments where mechanical devices wear quickly.
Pharmaceutical production often requires enclosed areas where mixers, grinders, or dispensing equipment operate under strict hygiene controls. Mechanical switches are not ideal because gaps and crevices can trap contaminants. The RE13-SA05’s smooth, sealed housing avoids these hygiene risks while delivering dependable monitoring of access hatches. Its magnetic actuation supports longer distances, reducing the chance of misalignment when operators frequently open and close doors during batch changes. Because the switch contains no internal fault reaction, it integrates easily with external safety controllers that track redundancy. This makes it well-suited for cleanroom production lines needing fault-resistant, low-maintenance safety monitoring.
Modern assembly cells frequently use sliding doors or lightweight polycarbonate panels to give technicians quick access for adjustments or part reloading. These doors can flex or shift slightly, causing keyed mechanical switches to lose contact. The RE13-SA05 solves this by maintaining consistent detection across variable approach angles, ensuring the door position is always correctly identified. Its compact body fits into slim aluminum profiles widely used in automation frames. When paired with appropriate logic units, the switch helps stop robotic arms or actuators immediately whenever a door opens. This enables safer human-machine interaction without slowing down production efficiency.
CNC machines often have front covers or side panels that protect operators from chips, coolant splash, and rotating tools. Over time, machine vibration and thermal expansion can cause these covers to sit unevenly, which leads to unreliable activation of conventional microswitches. The RE13-SA05’s generous switching tolerance makes it ideal for detecting cover status regardless of minor misalignment. Its resistance to shock ensures performance even when operators close doors forcefully. With its durable VISTAL® housing and long switching life, it supports continuous operation in demanding metalworking conditions, helping prevent accidental exposure to cutting tools while minimizing maintenance requirements.
